Water requirement of plants


Below we take a look at some watering requirements.

We often get questions about what plants do not need water. A plant that does not require water is a dead plant. No plant can survive without water, but some need more water than others. Water in excess can sometimes be as harmful as water deficit.

Importance of rainwater 

Rainwater is the best supply by far, no garden is complete without rainwater. Most plants thrive after being exposed to it. It is best to water your plants in the morning. When watering young or low growing plants, water through the open nozzle of a can or with a hose held just below the surface so that valuable soil does not wash away.

Ways of watering

Watering evergreen shrubs from above is beneficial for young plants. Give thirsty plants an extensive soak that will last several days instead of a series of light sprinkles. Water succulent plants only when their soil is entirely dry. Remember that outdoor succulents will require more water than indoor succulent plants.
