Watering makes or breaks container plants—especially citrus. In this short, learn the difference between drip irrigation and hand watering and when to use each method. Drip systems provide consistent moisture, encourage deep root growth, and save time during hot spells. Hand watering gives you more control but can lead to inconsistent soil moisture if done incorrectly.
We walk through how often to water, how long a drip system should run, and how to allow the soil to partially dry to prevent root rot. You’ll also learn how to test moisture levels, adjust during heatwaves, and customize watering based on pot size and soil mix.
Whether you’re managing a patio garden or multiple fruit trees, understanding watering strategy is key to preventing stress, leaf drop, and nutrient lockout. Strong watering habits equal stronger plants.
