The goal is to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, which can lead to root rot. A general rule is to water every 1-2 weeks, adjusting for your specific climate and soil type. Sandy soil may need more frequent watering than clay soil.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.
