i tend to love my plants WAYYYY too MUCH...i overwater...; sticking
my finger in the pots didn't really tell me alot...so i got one of those water
meter things...; so visually i see something that look marginal...but still
has moisture look to it and my meter sez it is dry; my nursery owner lady
told me to feel some soil one day at her nursery...it had a tiny bit of moisture
to it...we were talking about floral plants...she said, in general if they
have that much moisture then don't water...; yet when i put my meter
in them they say dry;

now granted, alot is a 'feel' or judgement call and some plants are really forgiving
...but some aren't so forgiving...what the heck kinda guideline can i use...??
