I’m a gardening expert – the exact time of day to water your hanging baskets so they don’t wilt
HANGING planters seem to be all of the rage right now, but they aren't necessarily easy to take care of.
You may think you can water them willy-nilly, but there's actually a specific time of day that's best for watering.
The Royal Horticultural Society also said the morning is the best time for watering.
They explained: "The foliage and soil surface is also likely to stay drier for longer than evening watering, discouraging slugs, snails, and mildew diseases."
However, the plant pros warned that you still have to pay attention to the upcoming weather.
Prairie Gardens said: "In the heat of the summer you should be watering your containers and hanging baskets every day.
";On hot, windy, or humid days you may need to water more than once.
"And on rainy days you may not need to water at all."
If you're hanging plants do need some extra hydration, it's best to water them again in the early evening when temps are lower.
