Watering Tips

Once you have established the proper greenhouse water schedule, it is important to select and use the proper greenhouse watering systems.

Greenhouse plants in pots, flats, or benches are completely dependent on the grower for their needs. Watering is perhaps the most important and demanding job of all. Most plants are largely made up of water. A growing plant gives off tremendous quantities of moisture (in the form of vapor) through its leaves; this is called transpiration. If water is not available in the soil so the plant’s roots can replace this transpiration, the plant will wilt and quite possibly die.
