Why Is It Not Suitable to Water Flowers in the Middle

of a Summer Day?

In summer you should water flowers in the early morning or in the

late after- noon, but not at mid-day. The reason for this is that it is cooler during the first two periods if you water then, the contrast between the tempera-ture of earth and that of the water you put on the earth is not sharp. This minor contrast won't harm the flowers. But if you water at mid-day, the flowers, sitting in the hot earth, cannot stand the sudden decline of temperature caused by watering. If you do water then they may wither and die. If you find flowers drooping in the heat of the sun, you should put them in a cool place and not water them until dusk.
