A consistent supply of water is essential for healthy plant growth. However, knowing when and how much to water can be confusing. Here are five tips to keeping plants properly hydrated

1. Water the Entire Root Zone. For young seedlings, this might mean a daily watering until the soil is moist to the depth of an inch or two. For shrubs, this could be a deep soaking to moisten soil down 12" or more.

2. Apply Water Slowly. When you dump water onto the soil, much of it runs off onto the surrounding area. A soaker hose or drip system is an ideal way to give plants a slow, deep drink. Alternately, set your hose nozzle to a slow drizzle.

3. Save Daily Sprinkles for Newly Seeded Areas. Larger seedlings, established plants, and lawns do best with a deep soaking once or twice a week. Deep, infrequent watering encourages deep roots - in contrast to light sprinkles that encourage shallow, drought prone roots.

4. Check Soil Moisture. Poke your finger into the soil to determine were it's moist. Or dig in with a trowel, taking care not to damage roots. Don't assume if a plant is wilted that the soil is dry. If plants get too much water and the roots don't get enough oxygen, they can wilt and die.

5. Containers need more water. Plants growing in containers will need much more frequent watering than in-ground plants. Check small containers daily, as well as those made from porous materials, such as terra cotta. Self-watering planters help provide consistent moisture, as long as you keep water in the reservoir.
