The primary risk during summer is insufficient watering, which can lead to plant stress, reduced growth, and even plant death. New plants, which lack extensive root systems, are particularly vulnerable. Container plants are also at risk of drying out quickly due to limited soil volume. Overwatering or watering at inappropriate times, such as midday, can waste water and fail to meet plants' needs. Additionally, standing water on leaves overnight can promote fungal diseases. Gardeners must remain vigilant and adapt their watering practices to changing weather conditions to mitigate these risks.
