Water your plants regularly. Benedict T Palen Jr. states that one should water the plants in the morning. It makes it possible for the soil to dry during the day to minimize the attack of fungal diseases. Exposing plants to too much water is dangerous, and one should feel the soil before watering again. With its simple idiom, “Put your finger to the ground; if it is dry, time to irrigate,” the layman explains the use of that essential device.
