URBAN PLANTER BOXES

During a heatwave, your urban planter boxes need more frequent watering to combat intense heat and rapid moisture loss. Typically, you should check them daily and water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry—this often means watering once or even twice a day, especially for sun-exposed boxes. Early morning is the best time to water, allowing plants to hydrate before the sun intensifies and reducing evaporation. Ensure your containers have adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging, while using moisture-retaining soil or mulch can help maintain hydration. Adjust based on your specific plants; succulents may need less, while leafy vegetables likely require more. Consistent monitoring is key to adapting to the heatwave's demands and keeping your urban garden vibrant.
