Question
Hi, I live in Wales on the western side of the UK. I have several tropical plants that I have had for sometime but they never seem to flourish. I feel that watering may be part of the problem. Could someone please give me some idea of how often I should water them? thank you, Alan.

Answer
Hi Alan, I would like to know the variety, so that I can better help you, but in general, tropical plants require a humid environment, meaning the atmosphere around them, the soil need only be kept watered when dry to touch. Again, though, without knowing the specific plant you have, it is hard to direct you. Nick
