How to Water Plants

Water in the morning

Water evaporates quickly during the day; while at night, the soil is warm. But watering plants in the early morning allows water to seep to the roots for longer. The roots are the part of the plant that needs the nutrients, sugar, and hormones contained in the water.

Generally, water the base of the plant and not the leaves. Wet leaves can attract insects, fungus, and disease.

Water less days a week but for longer

Instead of watering everyday, water two or three times a week. But for longer. Water seeps into the roots.

Water the right amount for each plant

After getting into a new watering rhythm, you can now focus on particular plants.
