You have to water the plant just once a week. It has to be allowed to dry out between waterings or you will drown the plant and the roots will rot. It doesn't need to stay wet all of the time. If you can dig down alittle and the soil is damp then it is wet enough and once a week might even be too much..

It really isn't healthy for the plant to do this. I have never heard of watering an inch a week. Now that we are in the Fall season -- check the plant every so often -- if it is completely dry then water it. If isn't dry, then leave it alone.

Well, just give it 1/7 of an inch of water each day.

It's actually better for the plant to water it deeply once a week. If you only give it a dribble every day, the roots will migrate toward to top of the soil.

what is the area of the base of the container that is measured an ince. if you figure that, out you multiply the area times the height and you get the volume of the water, you can then divid that volume by 7 and you get the amount of water that you need to add every day to your plant.

well in that case I would just squirt it with a water bottle some everyday so you dont risk over watering it.
Why not water once a week?
What kind of plant is it?
Do research online on that particular plant and see what it says.

It depends on the size and type of the plant. It means one inch per week, so no more than that, one fluid ounce is roughly just below inches (1.8). therefore for one week you need 0.6 fluid ounces, thats 0.1 fl oz per day and miss say a monday. If your working in Litres its about 2 ml per day for the whole week

1/7 of an inch per day.

get one of those "plant frogs" - they hold a week's amount of water and gradually give the plant it's daily dose. if you want to do it yourself, just give it a little sip each day. as you get to know your plant better you will know automatically when to adjust the amount of water. i love to water my plants and groom them a bit each day. enjoy your new plant!
happy thoughts of love, peace and light

more water at one time will help a better root system develop, smaller amounts of water over a long period of time will not promote growth. plants are highly reliant on their root system
