Whilst hydrating regularly might bring us relief, houseplants are typically fussier. Add the complication of a serious heatwave into the mix, and things get even trickier: too much water, and they'll turn yellow, too little, and they'll shrivel, turn brown, and maybe even die.
Setting a fixed watering schedule helps track when and how often to water houseplants. When temperatures peak, though, you'll need to adjust, says Monique Kemperman, a horticulture expert at Plants & Flowers Foundation Holland. "Prioritize watering according to a plant’s needs," she adds. "Plants often need extra water during hot weather, but daily watering is not always necessary."
