10 golden keys to watering In hot weather, your plants need plenty of water to prevent them from bending over. But what about the amount of water and the frequency of watering, should you water from above or below? Santas offers you some useful information about watering your plants. Key 1: Ensure even distribution of moisture. Most plants also need moisture. But drying them slightly before watering is beneficial for the growth of the plant roots. Key 2: Use water sparingly, then increase the amount later. In the flowerbed, one or two waterings a week is usually enough. It is best to water less often with less water rather than more often with more water. Key 3: Water late at night or early in the morning. When you water cooler soil in the evening or at night, less water evaporates than soil that has warmed up during the day. This allows plants to get enough water before the next day’s heat arrives Key 4: Keep leaves dry. Wet leaves are prone to disease. Foliar fertilizer diseases can occur if they remain wet overnight. Leaves that are wet in the sun can get burned by the magnifying effect of the water drops. Key 5: Give the right amount of water. Watering correctly means that the water reaches the roots sufficiently. Too little water only covers the top of the soil. Adequate watering means that the plants depend on evenly moistened soil until the crops are ready for harvest. Key 6: Use plenty of water with breaks. The soil will need some time to absorb the water. To avoid wasting precious water in the field, it is better to water repeatedly with breaks. Key 7: Target and distribute watering. When watering is targeted to a single root point, root growth is one-sided and nutrients are not adequately absorbed by the soil. Therefore, always water around the perimeter of the plant and distribute the water over the entire area. Key 8: Irrigate in a water-saving way. Water as much as necessary, but as much as possible, do not let water run out unnecessarily. This process can easily be carried out in the field, garden and plots using automatic irrigation systems with moisture sensors. 9.Key: Avoid soil soaking up water. Soil waterlogging prevents the roots from breathing air and deprives the root cells of oxygen. Key 10: Use good quality soil rich in clay. Plants rich in clay minerals have better soil expansion properties. It holds water better and more evenly in the soil. In the rainy summer and winter you may need to drain the water to prevent the soil from absorbing water. Note: A flower bed is a place reserved for planting flowers.
