Are you worried about underwatering your plants? Rather than guessing how much water to use and possibly overwatering your plants, be on the lookout for these common signs of underwatering!
• Soil in the lower portion of the root zone is dry
• Older leaves turn yellow or brown and drop
• Leaves are wilted or drooping
• Leaves curl
• Stems or branches die back

Make sure you don't over water your desert-native plants. Here is a guide to help you learn more best practices for watering: bit.ly/3F0bqMP
