I NEVER use cold water on most of my plants, but tepid water right out of the tap. Of course I can't do the rockery garden this way and will have to use the sprinkler on the vast majority of my plants. I only use the other method on planted pots, the flowers by the walkway and our rose garden.

Chlorinated pool water can harm arborvitae if they are exposed to high concentrations of chlorine. While small amounts of chlorinated water may not cause significant damage, prolonged exposure or large quantities can lead to leaf burn, discoloration, and even death of the plant.
