Soil and water · 2 min read
Morning water, if you water
Morning water, if you water. Start with leaves that stay wet all night. Look at the plant, the soil, and the light before you look for a tool.
Do it in order
Then water the soil in the morning when you can. One change at a time. A garden records every extra change whether you meant to or not.
The usual miss
The common mix-up is an evening soaking of the foliage. Undo that, or stop, before you add water, feed, or a second plant.
You can leave it when the leaves have time to dry. Tomorrow's look matters more than today's perfect photograph.
This is a "Soil and water" note. Leaves that stay wet all night will tell you next week whether the note was right.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
