Watering your plants is an essential part of taking care of them.
To prevent your plants from withering in summer, it is important to know the right way to water the plants in your garden or pots.
Understand Type of Your Plants:
Every plant is unique, and they come from various environments with different water requirements.
Check the Soil:
Before watering, check the moisture of the soil. Press your finger into the soil up to the first knuckle.
Right Way to Watering Plant:
Water the soil directly at the base of the plant rather than overhead.
Choose Right time to water:
Water your plants early in the morning or late in the afternoon. This helps minimize water loss due to evaporation.
Right Amount of Water:
Provide enough water to reach the plant root zone. Water deeply, but avoid water logging the soil.
Use a watering can or a gentle hose attachment to control the flow of water.
Watering According to Weather:
Adapt your watering schedule based on weather conditions. Plants may need more water during hot and dry periods.
Mulch Around Plants:
Compost or bark mulching helps retain soil moisture, reduce evaporation, and inhibit weeds.
