Our high temperatures and lack of rainfall can make it tricky to keep plants watered. Lisa Graf breaks down how to water and gives tips on ways to make it easier. Have a question?

We all know this week is H🔥T! Here is our friendly reminder to keep your plants (and yourself!) hydrated. ⁠
⁠
WATERING TIPS:⁠
💦 Water in the morning or the evening⁠
💦 Check the weight of your hanging baskets to know if they need water or not. Light baskets = dry root balls!⁠
💦 New Guinea Impatiens + SunPatiens + Hydrangeas experience heat wilt. If you see your plants wilting, check to make sure they are watered. If so, your plants will perk up once temps cool down.⁠
💦 If you have newly planted annuals, shrubs and perennials, they'll need to be watered as well!⁠
💦 Watch Lisa give more tips at the link in our bio! ⁠
