The best time of day to water plants is in the evening or early morning. This is because water applied during the day, particularly at noon, will be most affected by evaporation by the sun's energy before it can soak into the soil. By watering during the evening or early morning, the water has a chance to seep into the soil to allow maximum availability to the roots of plants.
