3 ways of watering the plants

Watering your plants may seem like a simple task, but timing plays a crucial role in keeping them healthy and thriving. Watering at the wrong time can lead to evaporation loss, fungal issues, or even root rot.

So, when is the best time of day to water your plants? Let’s explore the science behind plant hydration and how to get the most out of your watering routine.

Plants rely on water for photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and temperature regulation.

Morning watering allows plants to utilize water during the day for photosynthesis and reduces the risk of fungal growth, as excess moisture on foliage can dry out. Evening watering can result in prolonged moisture on leaves and soil, creating a conducive environment for diseases.

Water sits in the soil for longer at night, which can encourage fungus, mold, and root rot. Lower temperatures slow down plant metabolism, meaning water uptake is reduced. If leaves stay damp overnight, your plant is more prone to bacterial and fungal infections.
