Without a doubt, the key to ensuring your flowerpots flourish during the scorching summer months is WATER! As temperatures soar above 90 degrees, your plants will be craving a refreshing drink. Here's a handy rule of thumb to keep your plants happy and hydrated:
#1. Make it fun! My favorite watering tool is my hose spray. The different features, especially the on/off toggle, are life changing for summer watering. For the longest time, I was using an old school metal hose spray. When I switched to this one, my flowerpots thanked me! The delicate flowers, buds, and loose soil could handle the pressure of the rain setting.
#2. My grandfather often said, "With the right tools, anything is possible." After experiencing poor-quality ones, I can confidently say he was absolutely correct. Many plastic hoses become brittle in the sun, leading to leaks, and they are difficult to store. Trust me, it's not worth the trouble. Upgrade to a hose that truly performs.
#3. Water your plants early in the morning with coffee! My all-time favorite morning ritual is having coffee. Not only will your neighbors be impressed by your flourishing flowerpots, but they'll also be curious about how someone can be so joyful while watering plants.
