Which plants can be watered with cold water and which cannot: a note for summer residents
26.07.2024 14:14
It is not for nothing that summer residents install numerous buckets and barrels on their country plots.
The containers are filled with water, which is then heated in the sun.
The result is a warm liquid. You can safely water all garden crops with it.
What to do if there is no access to such water? Is it possible to water plants with cold water?
Let us emphasize right away: there are garden crops that will normally “react” to cold watering. But there are representatives of flora for which low-temperature water poses a serious danger.
What plants can be watered with cold water
This type of watering is not contraindicated for the following popular garden crops:
- cabbage;
- carrot;
- winter onions and garlic;
- radish;
- beet;
- sorrel.
It is worth emphasizing that plants with a deep root system, as well as crops that have survived the “winter”, are not afraid of cold water.
What plants should not be watered with cold water
Low temperature liquid will negatively affect the following crops:
- watermelons;
- eggplants;
- melons;
- cucumbers;
- pepper;
- tomatoes.
Because of cold water, all the above-mentioned plants will begin to develop more slowly and worse, poorly absorb nutrients. In addition, crops will become more vulnerable to fungal diseases.
And for cucumbers, cold watering is also fraught with early completion of fruiting, as well as deterioration of the taste of the fruit.
