Question:
I am doing a science project on the best time to
feed plants. I have found that I had the best results with the
plants that i watered in the evening (one other plant was watered
in the morning, and one other in early afternoon). Why is this? Why
is the plant I watered at night bigger and nicer than those that i
watered at the other times?
Replies:
The following presents another side of the picture since caution needs to
be observed when watering in the evening to avoid fungal problems with
plants:

Except for the variable of time of day/evening, the other variables would
need to be constant for an accurate comparison (i.e., amount of water,
species (type) of plant, type of soil, temperature, humidity, etc.)
