How often should you water your flowers?

I water my flower garden everyday, but with the last question I aksed, that may be too much............so how often should I water them, and how much water should they get at a time?

How often should you water your flowers?
Each type of plant is different but overwatering is the #1 killer of all plants.


Give them a good!!! soaking 1 or 2 times a week. Make adjustments to that schedule if need. Yellow leaves usually mean over watering...cut back. If the plant is wilting give it more water (maybe 3x a week)
Reply:Little sectret Mama told me. Touch the soil, and if the soil sticks to your fingers it dont need watering yet. If the soil feels somewhat dry or very little sticks to your fingers, shes needs watered. Reason why you dont want to over water is so the roots dont rot. Happy Gardening!!
Reply:water when dry give them as much as they can take even if it drains out bottom but dont let them stay dry for more than a day or two
Reply:When the leaves on your plants begin to yellow they are getting to much water. Also moist conditions are ripe for diseases and mold to grow so cut it back to every other or every third day would be best.
Reply:When first planted I water everyday unless it rains. Once established most can go every other day or every three days depending on the types of flowers. Also, water in the evening not in the morning. If you water in the morning the sun could heat up any standing water and actually burn your plants. You didn't say where you live or what type of flowers you planted, but I think 2-3 inches of water every other day should be fine.
Reply:As often as they need it, and as much as they need.
Reply:Depends on the plants you have. The little tag that comes with the plans has instructions. Most should be watered daily. There is a wide vieriety of plants that should only get watered a few times a week though. Look up the type of flowers you have on this website to see care tips;

Reply:it is too much. it depends on the type of flower and type of soil you have, but at most you should do it every other day. if these flowers are indoors then every three days.





good luck
Reply:Well, like the commercial says,"it takes two". That means to water your plants 2 times a week but thats a method for grass lawns, not flowers.
Reply:First you'd have to tell us what kind the flowers are...it depends on what kind of plant you have and what type of soil. Also,the temperature in the room/garden will matter,because if up to 95 degrees,it's not wise to leave plants un-watered for more then 2 days.





I water my tomato plants up to 2 times a day,every day. Some plants will tolerate not being watered up to even 3 days,but if you neglect others,they'll die in a week. With roses,they require less water,and if you do that at least once in 2 days,they should be OK.





Normal house flowers should be watered often,but not more then 2 times a day,because they'll suffer over-watering. A sign of that will be yellowish leaves and withering stems. The types of plants in your garden may vary- from daisies to daffodiles.





Daisies are fragile and you'll have to shower them often- daffodiles if in the rain for 1 day will not need it for 3. I also learned that if you don't give sunflowers their daily amount,they will wither up in the course of about 2 days,unfortunately.
Reply:There are several dependents...but based on temperature and location (sun or shade) and amount of rain...





I water my hibiscus every other day because it sits in full sun and Houston is HOT!!! But I water my other tropical plants weekly (even in the summer) since they sit in the shade.





A rule of thumb, water every other day during the summer months.
Reply:EVERY DAY ...BUT MAKE SURE YOU WATER THEM IN THE MORING WHEN THERE IS NOT MUCH SUN LIGHT IS BETTER FOR THEM
