Plants do not require as much water in the fall as they do in the summer due to the cooler temperatures. Make sure the water gets to all the plants in the pot, from the edges to the center. Even when we receive rain, please check your containers to see that they received proper hydration. Rainwater is usually never enough to make a difference. Wind dries out the planters; if it is particularly windy, please water more frequently. Morning water is ideal, but watering in general is key. Plants in the shade do not dry out as quickly and require less watering.
The frequency of watering depends on daily temperatures:
80 degrees and above temperatures – water daily
70 degrees – water every other day
60 degrees – water every third day
The Maple Glow and Harvest Moon planters have cold hardy plants so you do not need to cover if the temperatures drop below 40 degrees. If you selected the Wonder-Fall or Hey, Pumpkin planter, please be prepared to cover your planter with a light towel or breathable fabric if the temperatures drop below 40 degrees. A reusable frost bag, which is available in a variety of sizes, is a good investment to protect your plants. You can find frost cloth bags here.
