Watering questions.

 


Hello.

I'm wondering if there is anywhere a guide to know how much water any
plant
need? It could be really helpful.


In addition , I am trying to use water from air-conditioners for my
garden.
Is there any problem with this ?
I'm trying to use slow release fertilizer .
I'm afraid to use too much from it , or to get there too much water.


Thank you very much !

What are you watering? What is your zone, mine is 6 and I live in what was
once was a desert. So, I water my tomatoes once a week with one inch of
water etc. Depending on the plant watering varies. Be a bit more specfic! ;)

 


If the leaf tips turn brown, it is too much.
I use the humidifier water from my basement on my plants.

There is no general answer to this because it depends on the plant and the
situation.  What plants do you have?  Are they in the ground or pots?  What
is your climate and season?


Follow the directions on the packet.

Herbs grown in containers tend to dry out more quickly than those grown
outside.
 But don't worry; it's easy enough to check their status.
Simply stick a finger
into the soil.  Make sure you get at least get
half an inch below the surface to
feel the moisture.  

If the soil feels dry to the touch, then water the plant.  As much as
you may be
tempted, don't overwater these indoor herbs.  You'll only be
promoting root rot
and the development of a disease called powdery
mildew.

This plant disease is probably one of the most recognizable.  If your
herb is
afflicted, it will have powdery splotches of white or gray on
its leaves and
stems.
