For stronger, more drought-resistant plants, ditch the daily drizzle and adopt deep watering! Here's how: instead of frequent shallow watering, give your plants a long, slow drink once or twice a week. Aim to soak the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches (around the knuckle of your thumb). You can check this by sticking your finger down into the soil. If it feels dry after sticking it in up to the first knuckle, it's time to water again. This encourages roots to grow deeper into the soil, searching for that precious moisture. Deeper roots mean your plants can access water reserves even during dry periods, keeping them happy and healthy throughout the season.
