Comment SEND for my new guide to watering plants in hot weather. If your plants are wilting in the afternoon heat, it doesn’t always mean they need water. It could be transpiration—when the stomata (tiny pores on leaves) open to cool the plant, but water escapes faster than roots can keep up. Before you water, check the soil. If it sticks to your fingers, your plant probably doesn’t need it. Most plants bounce back once the sun goes down. #WateringInHotWeather #DesertGardenTips #TranspirationExp
