Watering New Plants 101
Water like Goldilocks would: not too much, not too little. When properly planted with compost (or landscape mix) and topped with 2–4 inches of mulch, your plants will be surprisingly resilient to whatever Mother Nature throws their way.
Watering Schedule:
- Winter – once a month
- Spring/Fall – 2 to 3 times a week
- Summer – 3 times a week (plants are thirsty—just like us)
Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses when possible for a slow, thorough soak. Top it off with mulch over the root zone—but don’t pile it around the trunk. Think turtleneck: snug is fine, but too tight? Not cute.
