Water over the soil

  1. Pour water over the soil, using, for example, a watering can or your garden hose.

  2. Continue adding water until you're sure that it has reached the whole root system of the plants.

  3. If you have a tray under the pot when watering, make sure you remove all the collected water afterwards - avoid leaving too much water on the tray. This is especially important during colder days, if you live in a climate with a colder season. On hot days most of the excess water will evaporate.

Note

C ontainers and pots that are used outdoors should be provided with drainage holes at the bottom. You could risk overwatering your plants otherwise. Especially if it is exposed to rain .

If it has rained a lot on your mixed container garden you can add the "Rain" task to your app  — Planta tip
