How Often to Water Plants--too vague a QNot every plant is the same, so this question should include the type of plant, its environment, and how long you've had it.

if is a normal plant from cities (that grow in cities), if you grow a plant u put water 4 it to grow the next week on the same day you water it again ...

for the usual plants that grows on your house it's probably twice a day that it needs to be watered like morning and in the afternoon when the sun is already setting down.

The best way to water with overhead sprinklers is to start in the morning and stop early in the day so that the plants have time to dry off before the cool night temperatures occur.Foliage that remains wet for long periods, especially in cool night air, is vulnerable to attack by disease organisms that require moisture to get established.

That depends on the area where you live for evapotranspiration rate, the type of soil you have, and its ability to drain. Watering deeply but infrequently will force the roots deeper and make the plants better able to handle periods of drought. Keep the soil damp below the surface but not soaked as too much water will cause rot, and allow the area to partially dry out before applying water again. If you have had a particularly hot or windy day you may want to water, but if it has been calm and overcast, you can probably wait a day or two.

It depends on the plant, and whether it's inside or outside (and in what weather). Some plants need a little water daily, some twice a week, some weekly and some even less than that. The biggest problem is generally over-watering, not under-watering. Plants will wilt when they don't get enough water, but too much water gives most leaves a drier-out tip and does serious damage.

It varies greatly depending on the time of the year and the type of plants

Trees weekly

Shrubs daily

Plants 2-3 times a day in the summer

Sod

Overwater in the first 8-10 days in off-peak sun hours

Then stop watering it for 2-3 days

Then water every second day

DO not leave grass clipping on the new sod

Depending on the climate and the type of plant you have will determine the watering schedule. go to burpee.com or parkseed.com and see if they have any helpful hints for you.

It depends on what you are referring to, but in general, water when the soil about a half inch underneath is drying out for small plants.

That depends what type of flowers or plants are in it. Different vegetation require different care.

Depends on how much rain you are getting. An inch of water a week should suffice, including rainwater.
