Understanding your soil type is crucial for determining the best watering practices. Different soil types retain water differently, and this affects how often and how much you should water.
Sandy Soil: Drains quickly and doesn’t hold water for long. Plants in sandy soil may need more frequent watering.
·
·
Clay Soil: Holds water for longer periods but can become compacted, making it harder for water to penetrate. Be careful not to overwater plants in clay soil, as they can easily become waterlogged.
·
·
Loamy Soil: A well-balanced mixture of sand, silt, and clay. It retains moisture while still draining well, making it the ideal soil for most plants.

By understanding your soil type, you can tailor your watering schedule to provide your plants with the appropriate amount of water.
