Is there a best time to water outdoor plants?
It is never a good idea to water your plants at night. Yea, you may not get water evaporation, but you will most certainly get mold, mildew, and fungal diseases. Water your plants early in the morning. Preferably before the sun comes up. This way you don’t have water evaporation and the plants have a chance to dry out before evening. From an article about when to water: “Fungal infections can colonize leaves which are left moist overnight, and roots will also suffer from being watered in the late evening. Being left moist and cold at night can lead to rot and fungal infections of plant roots…”. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-best… Here is another article about the best time to water: http://www.lewisgardens.com/watering.
