Container Watering Reminder! ☀️
With the heat wave we're experiencing, your containers may need more attention than usual. DAILY WATERING! Watch the video below for a demonstration of how we recommend watering containers during hot weather. 💦
Here are a few container watering tips:
▪️Water the soil, not the foliage.
▪️Water slowly and deeply until the soil is thoroughly saturated.
▪️Check soil moisture daily—don't assume a passing rain shower provided enough water.
▪️Large containers can be surprisingly dry beneath the surface, even if the top looks damp.
▪️Self-watering containers are a little different—the top layer of soil may feel dry, but that's normal. Be sure to check the water reservoir and keep it filled! The warm temperatures may mean you need to fill a little more frequently.
