Tips from Dan

• On hot summer days plants may need watering twice a day.
• The best time to water plants in the summer is early morning, before the sun gets too bright, and in the evening, when the sun is setting.
• This is because plants leaves may burn if given water in the hot mid day sun.
• Try not to use black plant pots in the summer because the sun will make the roots too hot.
• Don’t forget to ask your neighbours or friends to water your plants when you go away.
