Watering plants is an important part of having a garden. But different plants have different needs. Plants like plenty of water, but how do you know what is too much or too little? Here are just a few helpful suggestions you may want to consider.
3 Do’s 3 Don’ts
Water early.
Water in the morning before it begins to get hot. It’s a perfect time to water your plants. This way they are ready for the hottest parts of the day. Don’t water too much.
Although plants are usually thirsty, too much water can be harmful to their growth. If you notice the leaves are becoming yellow and falling off, it is a clear sign of too much water.
Drain (排水) properly.
Be sure to check the surrounding area of your plants regularly. The extra water should be drained well. Don’t water late.
This is especially important. Although not everyone will be able to do their watering in the early morning hours, try not to wait too late in the day. If you water in the afternoon when it is hot, lots of water will evaporate (蒸发)before reaching the roots. If you water in the evening, the roots will be too wet.
Prevent insects.
A thin, fine mist (喷雾) will prevent insects from setting on the leaves and flowers. Don’t water the leaves.
The most ideal place to begin is the root. This is where most of the growth and development takes place. In order for your plants to be strong, the roots have to be healthy.
To really know what works well for your plants, watch them for signs of over watering or signs of not getting enough water. For more great advice on rose watering and growing roses, visit http:// www. myroseguide. com.

Do you feel happy in your life ? Happiness are for everyone . You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on . Why ? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time .
In fact , happiness are always around you if you put your heart into it . When you are in trouble at school , your friends will help you . When you study hard at your lessons , your parents are always taking care of your life and your health . When you get success , your friends will say congratulations to you . When you do something wrong , people around you will help you to correct it . And when you do something good to others , you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them , you can see that happiness are always around you .
Happiness are not the same as money . It is the feeling of your heart . When you are poor , you can also say you are very happy , because you have something else that can’t be bought with money . When you meet with difficulties , you can say loudly you are very happy , because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck . As the saying goes , “ Life is like a revolving(旋转的)door ” When it closes , it also opens . If you take every chance you get , you can be a happy and lucky person.
