Morning is Ideal – Allows water to absorb before the day’s warmth increases evaporation.
Prevents Mold and Pests – Leaves and soil dry out properly, reducing fungal growth.
Boosts Plant Hydration – Provides moisture when plants are actively photosynthesizing.
Avoid Late-Night Watering – Excess moisture overnight can lead to root rot and mold.
Check Soil Moisture First – Only water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Consider Plant Type – Some plants (like succulents) need less frequent watering.
Use Room-Temperature Water – Cold water can shock roots, while warm water promotes healthy absorption.
