I just try to be diligent at least once a week thorough hose watering, and on the other days, just light misting or just one little watering can every other day per container. All my plants are in containers, so it is really dicey, container plants dry out much faster. Doing my share in water conservation. Thankfully the greater part of my plants outside are drought tolerant ones and a lot are succulents, but even then, with our extremely hot and dry temps, all the plants appreciate some light watering. Right now it is 95F and 23% humidity..really not the best conditions for water hungry plants, so got to pick what will thrive here. It easily gets to triple digit here at the height of summer, so even more prudence in watering.
