If you can't tell if your plant needs watering, just knock. A thump on the side of the flowerpot should tell you if the pot sounds hollow. If it does, the plant is dry. When your knocking yeilds a solid thud, there's probably enough moisture in the plant for a lil' bit longer.


Give your plants fertilizer during the same seasons you would your outdoor plants, and give them winters off.
If the tips of the leaves turn brown, cut off most of the brown part, leaving a narrow brown edge. Cutting into the green may promote disease. You don't want a plant to be too crowded in a pot, but be careful not to replant it in a pot that is much too large. Instead of putting its energy into growing foliage, the plant will grow more roots to fill the pot. Aim for a good balance.
