NewbieGardner said:There are two methods.
1. Touch the soil by hand and see if its moist or dry. If its dry then its time to water the plants.

2. You get a meter that shows if water is excessive or not. You have to insert that meter into the potting soil.
Recently I bought one meter which shows readings for soil, water and acidic(PH). Its a great tool for gardening. You can buy it from Amazon online store.

I have had a lot of houseplants and the first method is exactly what I do before watering anything. I don't really use meters because the cheap ones are not reliable and the expensive ones.... well they are expensive....
