Watering Your Pots

Ensuring that your pots are adequately watered is absolutely crucial to maintaining their health and ensuring they remain full of vibrant blooms. We strongly recommend that you water them in the early morning, before the heat of the day sets in. This strategy helps to prevent the water from evaporating too quickly due to the heat, and also prevents the plants from sitting in wet, and potentially cold, soil overnight, which could be detrimental to their health.

In conditions of extreme heat, it becomes even more critical to water your plants both in the morning and at night. This dual watering schedule is vital to ensure that your plants receive the hydration they need to withstand the intense heat.

In addition to watering, we also recommend feeding your pots and hanging baskets every 7 days with a balanced to high nitrogen feed. This regular feeding schedule will provide your plants with the nutrients they need to thrive and produce an abundance of blooms.

When you are watering your pots and baskets, it’s important to focus on watering the soil rather than the leaves. This approach ensures that the water reaches the roots of the plants, where it’s most needed. It also helps to avoid the risk of sun scorch on the leaves, which can occur if water droplets on the leaves act like tiny magnifying glasses in the sun.

By following these guidelines, you can help to ensure that your pots and baskets remain healthy and full of beautiful blooms throughout the growing season.
