For newly plants, usually deep water for first time.
-
Deep Watering:
- Water deeply to encourage roots to grow downward. Shallow watering can lead to weak root systems.
-
Time of Day:
- Water in the early morning to allow foliage to dry, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
-
Avoid Overhead Watering:
- Use soaker hoses or water at the base to keep leaves dry and healthy.
-
Check the Soil:
- Before watering, check soil moisture 2–3 inches below the surface. If it feels dry, it’s time to water.
