ปฏิทินดูแลต้นไม้เดือนกันยายน วิธีเช็กความชื้นดินและกันรากเน่า | ป๊าม๊าเดอะร์การ์เด้นเนอร์

Have you ever spent all day working in front of a computer screen, only to look over at your favorite potted plant on the desk and start worrying whether this rainy season will cause root rot from excess moisture? This is an easy guide for plant lovers in condos and offices to help check soil moisture accurately and keep plants surviving through September.

Understanding Soil Moisture in September

September brings heavy rain and high humidity, making water in pots evaporate much slower. Watering every three days like before can easily cause root rot. The trick is checking actual soil moisture before watering every time.

Simple Ways to Check Soil Moisture

Just looking isn't enough. Try these easy tricks:

Poke your finger an inch or two into the soil. If it still feels cool and damp, put the watering can down.
Lift the pot. If it feels lighter than usual, the soil is dry and he needs a drink.
Stick a wooden skewer in for five seconds and pull it out. If soil sticks to it, he's still good.

Keeping Potted Plants Safe in the Rainy Season

Plants on condo balconies or near office windows take a hit from rain and humidity. Let's help them out.

Light and Air

Sunlight is weaker now. Move pots to bright, indirect light, and let a fan run to keep the air moving and prevent mold.

Soil and Drainage

Make sure drainage holes aren't blocked. Mixing in some perlite or pumice helps water drain fast and lets roots breathe.

FAQ

How often should I water in the rainy season?

Water only when the soil is truly dry, maybe every five to seven days depending on the plant and your room.

What if I overwatered?

Take the pot off the saucer right away, put him in a breezy spot, and use thick paper towels to dab up extra water.

Do air-con room plants need less water?

Yes, cut back a little since they transpire slower. Just keep an eye on the soil.
