I'm really trying not to overwater my new succulent garden, and I'm religiously using my water meter. In the last week or so, everything has been registering dry within 48 hrs of a good soaking so I'm probably watering every other day. Is this typical for this time of year? What about monsoon weather? Should I anticipate rain and just not water if it's forecast? Even though it's 110?
btw - most plants are in the ground, I only have a few little ones in pots and they're getting water every other day. I have your typical newbie assortment of euphorbias, some echeverias and crassulas.
Also, is a morning spritz with the hose a good idea on these fiery days? I do not have any plants that freak out if they get water on their leaves (puh-leeze! I'm a rank amateur and in no way qualified for that kind of maintenance!). It's just so damn hot. . .
thanks!
