Passage: I check my living room plants to see if they need to be watered . My plants do n't need to be watered very much because of what kind they are , but it looks like they could use some water because the soil is dry and they have n't been watered in a while . I fill up a bottle with water from the sink , because I do n't have a watering can , and walk over to the plant . I slowly pour water all around the soil , being careful not to pour too much in one spot so that the dirt does n't splash around . I pour just enough for this kind of plant , and stop . Last week I watered one of my plants too much , and now the leaves are starting to fall off . Some plants are not as thirsty as others . Question: When did they start learning how to not over-water them? Option1: After their plant wilted last week Option2: During childhood.
After their plant wilted last week
