Elise said: “The UK is currently facing a prolonged period of dry weather, posing challenges for the healthy growth of garden flowers and plants.

埃利斯說：“英國目前正面臨長時間的干燥天氣，對花園花和植物的健康生長構成了挑戰。

“On hot days, deeper, less frequent watering is preferred over quick sprinkles throughout the day. This encourages deeper root growth, building your plants’ resilience to heat and drought.”

“在炎熱的日子裡，整天更深入，更頻繁的澆水比快速灑水更喜歡澆水。這鼓勵了更深的根部生長，建立植物對熱量和乾旱的韌性。”

What time of day is best to water plants?

一天中的哪個時間最適合植物？

Elise from Prestige Flowers explained: “You should water in the early morning, before temperatures rise or the sun’s heat is at its strongest, to give the moisture a chance to be absorbed by the soil.

Prestige Flowers的Elise解釋說：“您應該在清晨，溫度升高或太陽的熱量達到最強之前的水，以使水分有機會被土壤吸收。

“Midday watering in this heat would be pointless, as the water will evaporate before reaching your plants’ roots.

“這種熱量中的中午澆水將是毫無意義的，因為水會在到達植物的根部之前蒸發。

But be aware, damp plants overnight can attract pests who might seek shelter and moisture.”

She added: “When watering during a heatwave, you need to make sure you make every drop counts. After very little rain in parts of the UK recently, reservoirs and groundwater levels will be depleted.

她補充說：“當熱浪期間澆水時，您需要確保每次滴水量。最近在英國部分地區的一部分降雨後，水庫和地下水水平將被耗盡。

“Always aim for the roots, not the leaves, to ensure the water gets where it’s needed. Be gentle and use a watering can or a hose with a mist setting so you don’t wash away any soil or damage delicate plants.

“始終瞄準根部，而不是葉子，以確保水到達所需的地方。保持溫和，使用帶有霧氣的澆水罐或軟管，以免洗淨任何土壤或破壞脆弱的植物。

“Add mulch to help retain moisture around your plants. If you have plants in pots, try grouping these together to create a microclimate to retain moisture.”

“添加覆蓋物以幫助保留植物周圍的水分。如果您的盆中有植物，請嘗試將它們組合在一起以形成微氣候以保留水分。”
