Today I asked xeriscape expert, Jeff River Law how many times does he recommend watering newly installed plants this spring. I recommended once a week for 12 minutes until it gets in the high 70′s.

River suggests,
” AT most………….unless they are xeriscaped plants . Xeriscaped plants need NO water once established, unless drought conditions.
When you water the top of the soil, you force the plant , no matter what type to send its roots upwards, the opposite of a healthy plant’s needs. It weakens the plant, which attracts bad bugs, and forces the plant, tree, shrub to become dependent on “artificial ” conditions. It won’t send it roots downwards . I imagine that it adds to that mulch “mold” issue too, where it gets that fungus.
It will keep the beds moister for annuals though, and the soil at the top few inches.”
