This Is the Easiest Way to Avoid Overwatering Plants, According to the Royal Horticultural Society via Apartment Therapy

Just like many other events (like our Small/Cool Experience!), the Royal Horticulture Society made their annual Chelsea Garden Show virtual for the first time in 107 years. While it’s not over, horticulturalist experts have already shared an abundance of tips on how to successfully grow your own plants—including a clever way on how to avoid overwatering it.
 
Each day’s lineup is available for viewing on the RHS website, and Thursday was filled with helpful tips on how to grow your own vegetables and flowers. A panel answering audience questions about gardening took place between four of the RHS Gardening Advisors, during which horticulturist Lenka Cooke provided a simple solution to figuring out whether or not your plant is overwatered: by regularly feeling its weight.
