What does it mean if my plants are suppose to be semi-moist?

I just planted some new plants but they say moisture level is semi-moist. How often should I water them?

Good question, were do your plants live ? is it hot there ?

Semi moist would mean that if you put your finger on the soil it should feel damp, not wet. Whenever you water plants make sure you put enough water so as not to wet just the top of the soil and not too much or you'll drown them. best is to have pots with holes at the bottom So excess water can flow out.
Reply:Not saturated - just moist.

Water them a little but not to much, not to the runoff stage.

Poke your finger in and see if the soil sticks to your finger or not. When you pull your finger out there should be some soil particles stuck to your finger but your finger should not be completely covered by soil.
Reply:When you press your finger to the soil it should not leave a puddle where your finger was, if it does it is to wet, should just feel damp and not to packed down.
Reply:I don' t want to sound stupid but it means that you feel the dirt. You don't want the dirt dried out and you don't want it soaked. Semi-moist is in between. If you do it wrong the plants will tell you.............
Reply:Don't over water, if they are indoor plants, use a spray bottle.
