The hose end stays off the leaves
The hose end stays off the leaves. What is in front of you is the soil around the roots.
Do it in order
Handle it this way: water at the soil line. Wash the tool when you move to the next plant.
The usual miss
People lose cuttings and seedlings to a spray that soaks every flower. Slow down there.
Finished means the flowers are as dry as you can leave them. If you are guessing, water less than you want to and look again tomorrow.
This sits in "Soil and water", written as a garden note rather than a catalog.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
