The best time to water plants is usually in the early morning,
both to maximize the efficiency of water used and to promote healthy flora.
Mornings tend to be cool and without strong winds, so the amount
of water lost to evaporation is much less than during the middle of the day.
Yes, evenings are typically similar, but if plants stay damp overnight they are
more likely to be damaged by fungal and bacterial diseases. Ideally, use a drip
or soak system instead of a regular sprinkler, which wastes a lot of water and
drenches the leaves, which are prone to damage as well as disease.
Most experts recommend substantial, infrequent watering for established
plants, typically a total of about one inch of water per week (including rain).
One or two applications a week encourages deeper rooting, which promotes
stronger plants. To avoid shocking tender greenery, try to use water at or near
air temperature (collected rainwater is best).
