Watering Instructions
Watering: The Kerby's Way
Your new plants are going to need plenty of water to get growing. Follow this schedule to help them develop a strong root system:
- Water them daily in the first month.
- Water them every other day for the second month.
- Water them twice a week for the third month.
After this period, water them once per week or more frequently if our weather is very hot and dry.
Watering Tips
- Always water in the morning. Plants only need water when the sun is up. If you wait until they are wilting, they won’t grow big and strong.
- Water differently for plants in shady areas. If they are in the shade, they’ll need a little less water. Make sure that they’re not sitting in soggy soil.
- For hanging baskets or container gardens, check soil daily and water when they’ve dried out. They’ll always need water more regularly than their cousins planted in the ground.
Use a hose. Plants like a nice deep soaking when they’re new, and sprinklers may not give them enough water.
