## Watering Schedule

:::info
- General rule-of-thumb: water until about a 1cm of water has fallen into the planter/pot
- There's a soil probe to help gauge how much to water. Keep the meter in the "moist" range, leaning towards the drier end.

**Summary:**
- All outdoor plants once a week
- All indoor plants every 2 weeks
