Record watering dates to prevent accidental repeat watering. Monstera Watering rhythm Finger-test rule: Insert a finger 5 cm / 2 in into the soil. Water only when that layer feels dry.…

Inflation means that, over time, the same amount of money buys a little less than it used to. Imagine a school fair selling cupcakes. Last year, a cupcake cost $1. This year, flour, eggs, electricity, and workers’ pay all cost more, so the fair charges $1.10. When this happens with lots of things—not just cupcakes—we call it inflation.
