As the hot season begins, many home gardeners automatically turn to watering their plants. But is this action always correct? Some experts believe that under certain conditions, watering tomatoes can harm them instead of helping.
Optimal Watering Time
In fact, watering during the hot hours of the day may cause rapid evaporation of water, resulting in poor absorption by the roots. This is particularly concerning for tomatoes, which require moisture and suitable conditions. The best time to water is early in the morning or in the evening when the temperature is slightly lower, allowing plants to make better use of the water.
Additionally, some experts recommend looking for other methods to maintain soil moisture and plant health instead of daily watering. Using mulch or ground cover can help retain soil moisture and ultimately provide better protection for tomatoes against the heat.
