TOO WET? TOO DRY? When you landscape, keep in mind that water is essential to any plant's development. Without proper sun, soil, and fertilizer your plants will not flourish but can survive. Without the correct amount of water, your plants can die. Many people over-water during the first few days after installing a new plant and the result of this flood of water is that the plant can’t breathe and may drown. If you do not water enough, the plant will wilt and can die of thirst. How much and how often should a person water their plants is the question. To answer this question you must consider the plant type and environmental conditions. The type of soil you are watering is an important consideration. You need to check for soil drainage to see what type of soil you are working with and how the water behaves in it. You should dig a two-foot hole and fill it with water. Excellent drainage is when the water drains away in an hour or two. If the water drains in eight hours, you can consider the drainage as adequate. If the water is still in the hole after eight hours, you have a drainage problem that can damage or kill new plants.
