[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 284668, member: 1991"] evening or morning. The main problem with middle of te day is the risk of the plants being burned through water droplets on them (they act like mini-maginfying glasses). However, if I see my plants wilting in the middle of a hot summer's day, I go out there with a bucket and carefully pour the water over the soil and into the drainage saucer. As long as I don't wet the plant in the heat. Never use a sprinkler in the middle of the day, or even late morning on a hot day. You need to use judgement - if the morning is mild, go ahead. If it's a cloudy day in summer, not too hot - you can water in the middle of the day. But some heatwaves kick in hot and fast, you don't want to risk the plants burning. Marg [/QUOTE]
