🌞 Hot weather plant tip!
The best time to water your plants is early in the morning, when cooler temperatures allow the roots to absorb moisture before the heat of the day arrives.
If mornings aren't possible, watering in the evening is the next best option. During periods of extreme heat, some plants may even benefit from both a morning and evening watering if they're showing signs of stress.
If you notice leaves wilting or plants looking stressed during the hottest part of the day, it's okay to give them some water—but be sure to water at the base of the plant, not the foliage. This helps the water reach the roots where it's needed most while reducing unnecessary evaporation.
