Most plants need more hydration at critical times in their life cycles, such as when they are young and growing quickly, after transplanting, while setting buds and when fruit or seeds are developing. Note that shallow-rooted plants need closer monitoring for signs of dehydration than deep-rooted specimens, which are better able to tap into groundwater.
