Keep your plants hydrated in summer like this
Water early in the morning
This reduces evaporation and allows plants to soak up water before it heats up.
Use mulch
It retains soil moisture, keeps roots cool, and reduces weed growth.
Deep watering
Deep watering encourages deep root growth. Water the plants slowly to reach deep into the soil.
Use drip irrigation
Through this method, water reaches the roots directly. This also conserves water.
Check Soil Moisture
For this, use a moisture measuring device or finger test and water only when the soil is dry 1-2 inches below the surface.
Grouping plants with similar needs will help with watering and prevent over- or under-watering the plants.
