Watering Your Plants In Winter: Tips
The one aspect about winters is that, it brings with it dry conditions. However, plants usually try to stock up the essential nutrients and sugar in their roots during fall in order to survive and sustain during the winter months. Hence they may not need the essential attention in cold winters unlike summers but it's always important not to abandon watering them over the wintry season.
Everybody who owns a garden would be visibly complaining and cursing about the dry conditions, since winter attacks the foundation of plants and shrubs. During the winter months, freezing and thawing conditions usually shrivel up the hibernating roots. So make sure to support the plants through winter by giving them sufficient water until the ground is deeply moist. Extra precautions need to be taken for plants to survive the cold in winter months. Perennials, trees and shrubs can get damaged and dehydrated under the cold weather conditions if they don't receive supplemental water. It is often necessary for plants to get extra care and attention during fall if they have to survive in winter and begin spring in perfect peak condition. Watering plants in winter is advisable if you don't want to risk the winter drought.
Here are some of the winter gardening tips for protecting and taking care of your plants and trees.
Incorrect
watering
Watering
plants
in
winter
needs
to
be
carefully
scrutinised.
If
your
plants
are
not
blossoming
or
your
leaves
are
going
limp,
it
means
you're
following
incorrect
watering
techniques.
There
is
no
golden
rule
for
watering
plants.
Water
quantities
should
be
individually
implemented
according
to
your
plants' needs.
Certain
plants
will
suffer
if
they
are
be
put
in
puddles,
while
some
prefer
a
lot
of
water
to
blossom
and
grow
well.
Water
your
plant
in
fall
Before
you
water
plants
in
winter,
make
sure
to
supply
your
garden
with
sufficient
water
in
fall.
However
more
water
is
required
for
new
saplings
and
shrubs.
Always
give
your
garden
deep
watering
for
at
least
two
to
three
weeks
before
winter.
Frequent
watering
The
most
important
winter
gardening
tip
is
that
plants
with
large
or
thin
leaves
require
regular
watering.
Even
those
with
surface
roots
also
need
frequent
watering.
Not
all
plants
demand
the
same
amount
of
moisture,
few
plants
tend
to
dry
out
between
watering
while
others
need
to
be
kept
moist
regularly.
Soak
the
soil
It's
a
rule
of
thumb
to
water
your
plants
in
winter
at
least
for
a
depth
of
6
to
8
inches.
This
general
procedure
has
to
be
followed
for
lawns,
a
few
trees
and
shrubs.
This
depth
of
soaking
provides
moisture
to
the
majority
of
roots
and
crowns.
Make
sure
to
water
trees,
shrubs
and
lawns
and
guard
their
foundation
by
using
sprinklers
and
soaking
hoses.
Allow
the
water
to
be
absorbed
by
the
soil.
Water
for
three
weeks
The
amount
of
watering
depends
on
the
type
of
plants
and
soil.
However
watering
every
two
or
three
weeks
is
sufficient.
If
you
want
to
test
how
deep
the
water
goes,
probe
the
soil
using
a
screw
driver,
spade,
knitting
needle
or
a
metal
rod.
If
the
tool
comes
out
moist,
measure
how
many
inches
it
takes
water
to
reach
the
depth.
If
the
soil
is
still
dry,
pour
water
again.
Water
hose
While
watering
plants
in
winter,
use
a
water
hose
to
run
a
stream
of
water
at
the
bottom
of
trees
and
shrubs
for
almost
30
minutes.
This
thin
stream
of
water
can
help
moisten
the
soil.
Follow these tips for watering your plants in winter to save it from dehydration.
