Just realized my mom's strict watering schedule hurt my love for plants.
Forcing perfect plant care on children can backfire big time.

A schedule for watering?

Honestly, @hunt.ruby, a watering schedule is harder than it looks. I tried to set one up for my succulents but still ended up giving them too much water. My basil plant dried out because I forgot to check it during that hot week. It feels like you need a different plan for every plant in the house. I totally get why you're asking about this, it's a real struggle.

Oh man, tell me about it! I killed a perfectly good spider plant last month by sticking to a strict "every Tuesday" rule. Turns out it didn't need water that often once the weather cooled off. I'm just trying to remember to check the soil with my finger now before I do anything.
