Smart Watering Tips for Hot Summer Days
Alright, fun aside – here’s the serious bit. Watering can be a little tricky during heatwaves, and you don’t want to risk under- or overdoing it. We’ve rounded up our top tips so you can keep your plants – indoors and out – perfectly happy.
For Outdoor Plants:
- Check the soil first – Stick your finger 2–3cm into the soil. If it still feels damp, hold off on watering. Too much water can lead to soggy roots, which most plants dislike.
- Water in the morning or evening – Early morning or just before sunset are the best times to water, reducing evaporation in the midday heat.
- Deep and slow – A thorough watering once is better than little splashes throughout the day. This encourages roots to grow deeper and stronger.
- Watch out for heatwaves – On extremely hot days, you may need to water more often, especially pots and container plants. Sometimes daily watering is needed.
For Indoor Plants:
- Avoid daily watering – Most houseplants like a bit of dryness between waterings. Always check the topsoil first.
- Use lukewarm water – Plants prefer water that’s not ice-cold.
- Know your plants – Some, like succulents and cacti, need very little water. Adjust your routine accordingly.
- Mist occasionally – Many houseplants enjoy a light misting, especially in dry indoor air.
