In water. An inch or an inch and a
half will suffice.
Consider the kind of plant you are
watering. Soft stemmed kinds. espe-
cially those with large leaves, will re-
quire much more water than hard
wooded. slow growing kinds. While the
former easily recover from drought,
the hard wooded suffer permanently
from extremes.
The character of the soil should also
regulate watering. Heavy clay soils
sour easily, while very light loan
soils dry out quickly. and unless care
fully watched plants in them will wilt.
In either case it is better to water
thoroughly and less frequently than to
water sparingly and often.
The seasons and time Of day should
also be watched. Plants not in active
growth should be watered sparingly
until they have regained their foliage.
Watering in the evening just before
dark greatly aids fungOus diseases, as
the foliage remains wet through the
night.
