Knowing how often to water garden plants in hot weather is all very well, but if you do it incorrectly, you could be doing more harm than good. Therefore, avoiding this common watering mistake is key for keeping plants happy and hydrated during warm summer temperatures.
“In intense heat, watering from above can scorch the leaves, waste water through evaporation, and even increase the risk of fungal diseases like powdery mildew and black spot,” explains garden expert Josh Novell. “Bottom-watering is a far more effective method, especially during a heatwave.”
