| 0:00.0 | Probably the thing that most house plant growers mess up the most, especially when you are beginning and you really don't have a good sense for how much water plants need of course is watering your house plants. We have Crystal Durand back on the show |
| 0:25.5 | plants with Crystal all over the internet. You've done a lot of guides and I've found myself kind of |
| 0:30.4 | finding you and my feed a little bit more often these days. |
| 0:34.0 | Talking about all sorts of different types of house plant stuff, but specifically some of this |
| 0:38.2 | care and it seems like where everyone messes up the most besides maybe where they put the plant in the first |
| 0:44.4 | place is the watering. Right. Yeah I think that watering can feel scary too many and they assume that if I give too much water |
| 0:56.0 | that I'm going to kill my plant and so what that means is you're watering too frequently versus the amount of water that you're actually |

| 1:50.6 | How much more often do you think you'd have to water the highlight one versus the low? |
| 1:56.0 | Oh, I would say at least one time a week to every other week depending on the size of it. |
| 2:02.0 | What will you say it's the same? So I would say maybe one. to every other week depending on the size of it. |
| 2:02.6 | And what you said it's the same. |
| 2:03.9 | So I would say maybe one time a week compared to once every other week. |
| 2:08.7 | So basically twice as much. |
| 2:10.4 | Exactly. |
| 2:11.4 | Yeah. |
