Even when watering, you need to remember some rules so as not to harm fragile plants.

Rule 1

Avoid watering the soil too early or too late.

It is better to do this 2 hours after sunrise or 2 hours before sunset.

At this time, the optimum temperature for the procedure is established outside. Plants do not experience stress, but comfortably receive the necessary moisture.

Rule 2

You can't water your plants at midday when the sun is quite aggressive. Don't think that this will help them survive the heat.

In addition, you should not overwater the plants. Excess moisture can stagnate at the roots, and they will eventually begin to rot.

Rule 3

Too frequent watering is harmful. It provokes the development of too shallow root system. Tomatoes should be watered abundantly, but rarely.

Rule 4

Along with watering, it is permissible to add fertilizers. You should not overdo it with them either. It is important to maintain a balance.
