Do you always worry about when is the right time to water plants? Don't worry. Here, I'm going to share some really practical watering secrets with you.

**Spring**
The best time to water: From 9 to 10 a.m. In the early spring, the temperature begins to rise, but there is still a chill at night. Choosing to water during this period, the water temperature is relatively close to the soil temperature, allowing the roots of the plants to absorb water warmly and comfortably, and avoiding stimulating the roots due to too low water temperature.
Watering secret: During the period when the new buds of the plants are germinating, keep the soil slightly moist. This can provide sufficient water for the growth of the new buds and promote their vigorous growth. But be sure to note that never let there be water accumulation in the flower pot. Otherwise, it is likely to cause the roots to be stuffy, hinder the respiration of the roots, and in severe cases, it may even lead to the death of the whole plant.

**Summer**
The best time to water: Before sunrise or after sunset. At this time, the temperature is relatively low. Watering can avoid damaging the roots of the plants due to the large difference between the water temperature and the soil temperature, and it can also replenish water for the plants in a timely manner. At noon, the sun is strong and the temperature is too high. Watering at this time will cause the soil temperature to drop sharply, affecting the normal function of the roots, and it may also cause the leaves to be burned.
Watering secret: In high-temperature weather, in addition to watering the soil, you can also use a spray bottle to spray water on the leaves of the plants. This can not only increase the air humidity but also play a role in cooling.

**Autumn**
The best time to water: From 10 to 11 a.m. As the temperature drops, the growth rate of the plants gradually slows down, and the demand for water also decreases accordingly.
Watering secret: Adhere to the principle of "watering when the soil is dry and seeing it through when watering". Wait until the surface of the soil is dry, and then water it thoroughly. This can allow the roots of the plants to fully absorb water and avoid water accumulation at the same time.

**Winter**
The best time to water: From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. At this time period, the temperature is relatively high. After watering, the plants will have enough time to absorb water, avoiding frost damage caused by overly wet soil at night when the temperature is low.
Watering secret: Be sure to pay attention to the water temperature. Try to make the water temperature similar to the room temperature. You can fill the water in advance and leave it indoors for a period of time before using it.

In short, by mastering these watering techniques, you can make the plants at home grow vigorously!
