Landscape Watering Tips & Tricks
How much should I water my plants per week with the Landscape Dripline System?
Use the chart and notes below as a simple starting point. Adjust based on plant size, pot type, climate, soil moisture, and weather conditions.
| Plant Type / Size | Cool Climate | Warm / Humid Climate | Hot / Arid Climate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Pots | 10 min / week | 15 min / week | 30 min / week |
| Large Pots | 15 min / week | 30 min / week | 45 min / week |
| Small Shrub (3 ft.) | 15 min / week | 30 min / week | 1 hour / week |
| Large Shrub (6 ft.) | 45 min / week | 1.5 hours / week | 2 hours / week |
| Small Trees (10 ft.) | 3 hours / week | 5.5 hours / week | 8 hours / week |
| Large Trees (20 ft.) | 11 hours / week | 22 hours / week | 32 hours / week |
Recommended watering times are starting estimates. Adjust based on weather, soil moisture, and plant response.
When to Water Daily
- Plants in terracotta or unglazed ceramic pots dry out faster because the material absorbs moisture.
- Small pots dry out faster because they hold less soil.
- Very hot weather, especially 90°F+, or windy conditions cause faster evaporation.
- Plants in active growing seasons need more water.
When to Water Less
- Plastic, glazed ceramic, or metal pots retain moisture longer.
- Small plants placed in oversized pots can stay wet too long.
- Cool, cloudy, or humid weather may mean watering is only needed every 2–3 days.
Additional Note
If runoff occurs, split watering into 2–3 shorter cycles. After a few days, check the soil near the ½” drip tubing. If the soil is too wet, reduce watering time. If it’s too dry, increase watering time.
If customers find they need to water daily, switching to 2 GPH emitters or a drip stake kit can reduce watering time by 40–50% while still watering the roots effectively.
Future Chart Option
This layout can support an additional chart for 2 GPH emitters and 4 GPH emitters when updated calculations are available.
