Hey everyone! With the current weather, I know this question might be a bit overdone, but I'm really curious about the best time to water my plants. I usually do it in the evening, but I've heard that morning watering is better. If I decide to water in the morning, what's a good time to do it? Should it be before sunrise, say around 6 AM, or is before 10 AM ideal? I'm tempted to just water them now as a quick fix!

I've always thought watering in the evening was best. It gives the plants all night to absorb the water and be ready for photosynthesis come morning. But I could be wrong!
Evening watering works for me, especially since morning watering can lead to evaporation. But if you've missed a few days, just water whenever you can!
Thanks for the tip! I think I’ll stick to evenings myself.
I find evening watering very therapeutic and it's a nice way to wind down after a long day. However, I guess early morning is ideal so the water soaks in before the sun gets too hot.
6 or 7 AM sounds like a solid plan! The midday heat can really zap moisture.
Interesting perspective! I do evening watering too, but I've heard that mornings reduce issues like slugs and fungal diseases.
