And with summer temperatures getting hotter, it’s more important than ever to make sure your buds are hydrated.

To ensure your plants are in top shape throughout the summer, consider watering them sooner rather than later.

According to the plant experts at Prairie Gardens, the early bird gets the worm when it comes to watering.

“The best time to water your containers is in the morning so they have enough time to soak up the moisture before the intense heat of the day.

“Plants also absorb water faster in the morning,” they told Express.

The Royal Horticultural Society also said the morning is the best time to water.

They explained, “The foliage and soil surface are likely to stay dry longer than with evening watering, which deters snails, snails, and powdery mildew.”

However, the plant professionals warned that you still have to pay attention to the coming weather.

Prairie Gardens said: “In the heat of summer you should water your containers and hanging baskets every day.

“You may need to water more than once on hot, windy, or humid days.

“And on rainy days, you may not need to water at all.”

If your hanging plants need some extra moisture, it’s best to water them again in the early evening when temperatures are cooler.

Meanwhile, there is also a specific time of day to water your lawn for a super green lawn.
