Watering your plants is an activity on which the life of your plants will literally depend. Understanding the watering cycles and needs of the plants you own is a fundamental aspect to guarantee their optimum development, but if, despite following these watering guidelines to the letter, you find that your plants do not grow, wither or improve, the problem may lie in the time you water them because, believe it or not, this also has an influence.
do you know what time of day it is best to water your plants?
Greet the day by watering your plants
The best time to water your plants is always at dawn or in the early hours of the morning. First of all because the sunrise is the start of the plant's metabolic activity, so it is the perfect time to provide it with hydration, vitamins and nutrients. As if that wasn't enough, you will save water, because the sun won't evaporate the water so quickly and your plants will be able to use all the water they need.

Some people say that watering at the end of the day is also good for plants, but the truth is that it is not recommended because although water evaporation is minimal, at the end of the afternoon the plants are preparing to lower their metabolic activity and rest, because during the night there is no sun to photosynthesise.
On the other hand, the temperature tends to drop at night, so the soil will remain too damp for too long, which could rot the roots and encourage the appearance of fungus. For this reason, if you have succulents, you should NEVER water them at night, because the plant roots are more likely to suffer from rotting.
Avoid watering in the middle of the day. At that time the sun is higher and will evaporate the water so quickly that your plant will not have time to take advantage of it. On the other hand, the cold temperature of the water clashes with the high temperature of the plant and can cause disturbances. In addition, the drops can act like magnifying glasses, magnifying the sunlight and causing burns on the leaves.

- If you use saucers to hold excess water from watering, remember to empty them for a while after watering or place pebbles or pebbles in them. This will prevent stagnant water soaking the roots for too long, causing them to die.
- Always check with a wooden stick that it reaches the bottom of the pot before watering. Remember that the surface of the substrate always dries out first.

- If the substrate is too dry, it is best to water a little at a time, giving a few minutes between each watering, to hydrate the entire root ball of soil or you can submerge it in a bucket of water until it soaks in.

- There is nothing like rainwater for watering, but if you don't have any, you can use tap water but let it sit for a couple of days to allow the added chlorine to evaporate.
- Always water until you see the water start to run out of the drainage holes.
