How and when its plant should be watered

Some simple rules should be retained: more water during growth, which is the case in general in spring and in summer when the plant has buds, then flowers. Little water, on the other hand, in autumn and winter, when the temperature goes down: the majority of the plants are at rest. But if your plants are in a warm, water more often. Water your plant the morning when the temperature heats up. By water the evening, they remain wet all the night and temperature drops encourages the development of parasitic mushrooms and the rotting of the roots.
