During a heatwave, your urban planter boxes need extra attention. The general rule is to check moisture daily and water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry. This often means watering once, sometimes even twice, a day during peak heat. Early morning is the ideal time, allowing water to soak in before the sun evaporates it. Evening is a second choice, but avoid wetting foliage overnight to prevent disease. Focus water at the base of the plant. Look for signs like wilting or dry, pulling-away soil. Remember, small boxes and coir/peat-based mixes dry out fastest. A layer of mulch can help retain crucial moisture. Adjust based on your specific plants—succulents need less, while leafy vegetables demand more. Consistency is key to helping your green oasis survive the scorching weather.
