Keep plants happy when the sun shines with smart watering

GROW TOGETHER

Hot weather can make garden watering feel endless, but with a few smart techniques, you can reduce effort and waste while keeping plants healthy and happy.

Water deeply where it counts The goal is to get water down to the root zone. Moistening the top few centimetres isn't enough, as it evaporates quickly and encourages shallow rooting.

Aim for about 20cm deep, using a soil moisture meter to check without disturbing plant roots. This helps plants develop strong root systems and withstand dry periods better.

Plants with darker or thicker leaves often lose more moisture and may need extra, frequent watering. Hanging baskets and small pots like consistent, moderate watering. Grouping containers together helps reduce evaporation and creates a sheltered, humid microclimate to ease plant stress.
