How Environment Impacts Watering Frequency?

Many new plant parents ignore the huge impact their home environment has on how quickly a plant uses water. Even two identical plants in identical pots will have drastically different watering needs if placed in different spots in your home. The four biggest environmental factors that change how often you need to water are light intensity, temperature, humidity, and air flow.
