So I installed the gen 2 this weekend and I’m up and going. That was easy enough. But I’ve probably created and deleted a dozen or more schedules because I’m not sure what’s going on and my perception of what needs X amount of water is sorely lacking. The problem I have is I don’t know how much wa…

I see this question has been up here for awhile. I hope you can still benefit from the information. Different plants have different watering needs. The needs are satisfied by the type of irrigation, frequency and amount of time the system runs. Deep and less frequent irrigation is the key to bet…

I totally forgot I had posted this. Thanks for the reply! It turns out that these are Rosemary plants and apparently they are very drought resistant just like junipers. They managed to survive 2 months of oppressive heat with no watering. (some lost a lot of needles) Turns out someone broke off one…

Rosemary works very well as xeriscape. It would even do good on half of a xeriscape schedule.

I thought “deep watering” less often was better for plants. Not so for xeriscape?

Xeriscapes are highly drought tolerant plants for the most part. When I deal with the term “Drought Tolerant”, I take it to the next levels. Drought Tolerant Extra Drought Tolerant Extreme Drought Tolerant Ultra Drought Tolerant I can water any of these on the same schedule as another and even m…

I’m curious about the statement, “Citrus trees have an amazing feature called Selective Transpiration”. Could you please clarify? Are you talking about a specific citrus cultivar? Mesophyll conductance to CO2 in response to environmental factors? I wondered if you are referring to regulated defi…

[image] spscoutenPhD: We know how all green foliage transpires CO2 and emits O2. Citrus trees only emit some of their O2 and pull in extra Hydrogen molecules in order to manufacture some of their own moisture for survival. With that in mind, your citrus do not need a whole lot of added water nor…

So how much water do these plants need?

I am referring to the stomatic transpiration through the foliole extremeties.
