Xeriscaping refers to water wise gardening, hence they require very little water to thrive on. Here are some tips to a water wise garden:

* Use less-than-thirsty plants in your garden. * Look for plants that are well-suited to regional and local conditions. * Water plants only when needed, not by the clock or calendar. * Water at night, when evaporation is much lower and air is calmer. * A two- to four-inch layer of mulch also evens out temperature extremes, keep soil cool on hot days and warm on cool days.

Why is it important to give the seeds neither too much nor too little water?

Giving seeds neither too much nor too little water is important because: Too much water can lead to rotting of seeds and suffocation of roots due to lack of oxygen. Too little water can cause seeds to dry out and fail to germinate. Providing the right amount of water helps seeds to germinate properly and establish healthy root systems for future growth.


Why is water used to water plants?

Because plants need water to live. Their roots need moisture, to be able to absorb the nutrients from their soil. If their roots dry out, they won't get the food they need and they'll die. However, some plants don't require "watering" but just a light misting. They get their nutrients from the air. But, they do still need some moisture-just not much.
