It is best to water plants at dawn or in the first hours after sunrise.

It is at this time that water turns into a nutrient solution, which actively flows to the roots.

The water should not be cold.

Tomatoes are a fragile and capricious crop, which means that too low a temperature can lead to stress. The best option is to choose liquid at room temperature (about 20-22 degrees).

In this case, you only need to water the tomatoes at the roots.

It is important that drops do not fall on the leaves.

You shouldn't perform the procedure too often.

Experienced gardeners water the plants as the soil dries out.

On average, this is done once a week, but in hot weather the interval is once every 3-4 days. Up to 5 liters of liquid can be poured under each bush.

If the water stagnates or too much water was poured out during the process, it is advisable to loosen the soil so that the roots do not “suffocate”.
