How to prevent plants from lacking water in summer

Be careful not to water at noon

Noon is when the sunlight is strongest and the temperature is highest, and evaporation is active. At this time, the plants have been wilted in the sun after a morning of exposure. Watering them at this time, especially with very low temperature water, can easily damage the roots. It is best to place the plant in a place with weaker light at this time.

Generally, the best time to water is in the morning and evening.

Water thoroughly

In summer, it is important to keep the plants from lacking water. In fact, it is important to water them thoroughly at one time. When watering, you should see water flowing out from the bottom of the pot. This way the soil can fully absorb water.

Replace the potting soil with good water retention

Flower pots and soil with good water retention will lose water more slowly, so they are more moisturizing. In summer, you should pay attention to the fact that the flower pots and soil you choose for growing flowers should have good water retention properties.

The soil can be mixed soil, and the flower pot can be selected with good air permeability, or you can change to a larger flower pot.

Pruning the branches and leaves of the plant

In summer, because the plants have lush branches and leaves, evaporation will be very strong. Therefore, you can trim the branches and leaves appropriately to slow down the evaporation of water and protect the plants.

In addition, you can cover the soil with some clean newspapers to slow down water evaporation.
