Watering Basics:A sufficient supply of water is one of basic requirements of a plant. When you notice leaves drooping during periods of low rainfall, you must resort to hose or watering can. Never water in the sun-drops of water on the leaves intensify the effect of sunlight and can burn the leaves-water only in the evening or in the morning Try to spray a fine stream of water directly onto the ground, if possible, until the soil is water-saturated. Use the watering can to water individual plants. New plants should be watered thoroughly to provide the roots with sufficient water-transplanting is stressful for plants. Watering also helps settle soil particles in between the roots, which compresses large air pockets in the soil. Water regularly during the days that follow, but do not over water.
