How much water is enough for your potted plants?

Be sure that you have enough rain to stop watering plants. Here are some implications if you jump too fast to just turn it off:

1. Are some pots under cover where they do not get rain? If you turn off the irrigation, they will dry out pretty quickly.
2. A deluge of 15 minutes of rain will not deeply soak your pots. Check to see how wet they are 6-8" into the soil for annuals and 10-16" down for perennials, shrubs and trees.
3. Your pots of flowers are getting daily watering. One day of good rain means you might be able to take a break for one day - not beyond that.

Be Mindful! Check your pots!!

• Anchor pots to reduce the risk of tipping over in high winds.
• The same goes for all furniture and patio belongs.
• Heed monsoon warnings and travel safely!
