Plants for the chronic over-waterer

So you’ll often see guides and rec-lists for plants that require little water and attention, and just generally ‘thrive on neglect’. But what about us anxious, hovering plant people whose most common way of accidentally offing a plant is by over-loving and over-watering them?

(Before we get into it, let me preface this by the usual disclaimer: a plant’s water needs wildly depend on its environment. I live in the continental temperate zone of Europe, the average humidity level inside is 30-40%, so what I write may or may not apply to your conditions. Watch your plants closely - if you’re reading this post I know you would anyway - and proceed accordingly.)

Look no further, here’s a list of plants that are virtually impossible to over-water:

Fittonia sp.

Fittonia are extreme divas in room conditions but perfect angels in a terrarium. They will not tolerate a missed watering day, they’ll immediately start to droop. If you’re lucky and you catch them in time they’ll perk up and go on like nothing happened, but the margin between this and irrevocable crisping is a slim one.

Ferns in general

Of course the details of care depend on the species, but most ferns prefer shade and hate to dry out. I usually water all of mine twice a week, and so far they are doing okay.

Dionaea muscipula - Venus flytrap (and most carnivorous plants)

Plants usually resort to eating animals when they live in bogs, where the soil is acidic and extremely poor in nutrients. What bogs also are, is wet, and so these plants need to literally stand in a pool of water all day, every day and are therefore quite literally impossible to over-water. (At least in the summer. Over-wintering depends on whether the plant is temperate or tropical.)

The only downside is that they are really sensitive to water quality. No minerals (and no fertilizer!) allowed, only rain or distilled water!

Marantha leuconeura

Honestly I’d say the entire Maranthaceae counts, but I only have experience with Marantha, and I’m told the rest (like Calathea) are more difficult. These, once you get the water right (twice a week for me), aren’t that bad. They don’t need a lot of light either.

What you do have to keep in mind, is to give them soft water - like collected rain water. They are sensitive to the minerals in the tap water and since they can’t properly secrete them, they’ll store them away in the tips of their leaves, which will thus crisp up.

Jewel orchids

The one I have (Macodes petola) does well in a shadier spot, in normal room conditions. I mean I do run a humidifier once a day, but it’s not in a terrarium. It’d do well in one though, so if you’re looking to furnish a terrarium, this is a good choice. The only thing you gotta keep in mind if you keep it out in your room is to always keep the soil moist.

Mimosa pudica

This is a fun and interesting plant, what with the cute moving leaves, but it is the divaest of all divas. On a sunny, dry summer day it may have to be watered twice a day, and it’ll go into hysterics, crisp up and throw leaves if you’re late by five minutes. The good news is that as long as you do get around to watering it, it’ll bring new shoots and keep growing, it’ll just litter your room with dead leaves in protest.

It also prefers lots of light.

Spathipyllum sp. - Peace Lily

Like ferns, these do well in shadier spots. If exposed to too much light, they’ll keep bringing small, light green leaves, but they’ll flower regularly. (They feel like their lives are in danger so they hurry to procreate before the end.) In the winter they need to be watered about once a week, in the summer more like every two days.

The nice thing about them is that they are very vocal about their needs but, unlike the Mimosa and the Fittonia, don’t immediately, irrevocably crisp up, they’ll just droop. Water them and they’ll perk right back up.

My dad and I got this peace lily some time ago. Its flower things have died, but the green parts looked fine. Or, it did until the other day, when one leaf turned yellow. I saw online It could be caused by soil with too little nutrients or drought stress. So I took a closer look at its soil….

Well, it seems I found the issue. My diagnosis is root bound. I prescribe a bigger pot.

#I think there’s more root than actual soil. how was it living #how long was it rootbound to get this bad?? #peace lily #root bound #rootbound #plantblr

[gayestpiano]

the internet had me worried about over watering my peace lily and I've never had a plant before so I didn't know how dry soil should be to be considered "dry" and long story short she was not in good shape

turned out it desperately needed to be repotted

my friend told me to put it in a container of water,

and it perked up considerably!!

I went and got a clay pot (and drainage saucer) and potting mix and when I came back I loosened the root ball as best I could and repotted the plant:

#this was stressful but a lot of fun and very rewarding #insane how dramatic these plants are #it's like when a cat is a little hungry #peace lily #houseplants #repotting #i also got a snake plant while i was out

[kihaku-gato]

Ever since we got two peace lilies in December (basically mom needed a flowering plant for the church that month since that was thrown upon the household- so peace lily was the choice) I have not had a great time with them- we had them in mom's office room which is outside my plant radar which meant they kept getting near-death experiences without water.

So after the last close call which defoliated half of one of them- I decided they had to be moved somewhere I'll notice sooner- so bedroom it is then. They're low light plants anyhow so they shouldn't mind. There was some room on the one shelf since some of the gifted cuttings didn't make it (rip to the hoya cutting oTL), and with a weighted down sap tap bucket to prop it above the rest I could make it look fancier in said spot. The iffier one took the space where the snake plant originally stood, and with further shuffling I decided to move my metal dilophosaurus up with it despite it feeling like a gamble to put something so unsteady and heavy so far off from the ground.

The rearrangement has already paid off since I was able to tell last night when the weaker peace lily was on early stages of being little thirsty. Bonus being that I feel like they add a need Shape to the greenery in my room which makes it feel a little more welcoming. With them here they also work great as a "if they're thirsty, someone else probably is too" notification for myself who's had a hard time keeping tabs on watering days. Here's to hoping this is the start of more of the houseplants getting better watering regimes.

elle’s diary - Page 62 - 16/01/24 @ 8:15pm

Round 2 - my previous post disappeared in the tumblr abyss lol - Heya, hope you’re well :) today was a rest day for me. It was quite hot and humid, so I was a bit more tired than usual. I got up at noon and had a yummy breakfast of toast with honey and peanut butter, and then got ready.

Some indoor plants needed watering, as well as some outdoor ones, so I did those and then made some late lunch. Not all of the indoor plants which needed watering fit in the sink (lol) so I’m gonna water the rest after this. I also listened to ‘The Fear of Falling In Love’ and I love how it turned out! It’s definitely finished.

After watering the rest of those plants I’m gonna try a strawberries and cream tea, read, and head to bed. Also, I think I’m gonna take one more day off before starting work on ‘Apollo Bay’. I feel like my body needs it so I’m gonna listen to that. Alrighty, that’s gonna be all for now. Thanks for reading and take care of yourself <3

lots of love,

elle xoxo

Hey! This account is to post my plants! These are my plants and their watering schedules!

Xander <3

He is a cactus, and I water him weekly (Wednesdays)

Peace lily

She doesn't have a name, but it is a peace lily, and she's struggling. I water it weekly (Thursdays)

Jessie

This is Jessie, and she is a rose. I water her every other day!

Experiments 1-3

They are trimmings from potting Jessie that I am attempting to grow! They are watered the same days as Jessie.

As for me, I am Dominique (they/them pronouns), and I'm not that good at taking care of plants. I made this blog so I can keep track of if I watered my plants or not (and to ask for help with them) Every time I water my plants, I will post a picture of them!
