Watering with hot water

2 responses

Brain says... I'm going to weight in my 2 cents and say no. I think anything hotter than 40 deg C, you are starting to 'cook' the plant. I think most subtropical and tropical plant can survive a few cold nights, provied no frost. So unless you are expecting frost, then what you can do is to create a micro climate by giving plants some protection from the cold.

Rach (SE Melbourne) starts with ... Hi all, Am new to the growing of subtropical (and maybe tropicals). I heard through a strange version of chinese whispers that watering with hot water can help these plants survive colder winters and flower and fruit. Has anyone tried this? Would welcome any thoughts on it, even if you haven't tried it yourself! Cheers, Rach	About the Author RachSEMelbourne1 Frankston 22nd July 2013 11:59am #UserID: 8114 Posts: 5 View All RachSEMelbourne1's Edible Fruit Trees

Rach (SE Melbourne) says... Thanks Brain, that was my fear too! Perhaps worth doing with warm water, but seems like a lot of trouble for not much gain. I shall stick to mirrors and heat sinks :)	About the Author RachSEMelbourne1 Frankston 23rd July 2013 10:18am #UserID: 8114 Posts: 5 View All RachSEMelbourne1's Edible Fruit Trees
