Adam Boyer+FollowStop Watering Plants in the Morning!Turns out, watering your garden in the morning isn’t the move. Garden pros and Facebook gardeners agree: late afternoon or early evening (think 4-6pm) is the sweet spot. It helps your plants soak up all that moisture before the heat steals it away, and it can actually prevent diseases, too. Just make sure to water at the roots, not the leaves, to keep your plants happy and healthy. Who knew timing could save your garden? #GardeningHacks #PlantCare #GardenTips #Home8512Share
Kendra Hart+FollowWhy Camellias Might Be a Garden RegretCamellias look dreamy with their rainbow blooms, but OMG, they’re drama queens in the garden.

If you want those gorgeous flowers without the hassle, try sasanqua camellias or tea-oil camellias instead—they’re way easier and still bring the wow. Anyone else ever regret planting something that turned out to be a diva? #GardeningProblems #PlantDrama #Camellias #Home40Share

Adam Boyer+FollowCoffee Grounds = Tomato Plant Hack?Turns out, your morning coffee habit can do more than just wake you up!
