Watering plants in the early morning (before 10 am) is often considered ideal. This allows the plants to absorb the water throughout the day

Watering plants in the late afternoon or early evening (between 4-6 pm) can also be beneficial. Plants absorb water during the cooler part of the day, reducing evaporation

Avoid watering plants during the hottest part of the day (between 11 am and 3 pm) when the sun is strongest. This can cause the water to evaporate quickly

Watering plants at night can increase the risk of fungal diseases, as the foliage may remain wet for an extended period
