WATERING 
In our greenhouses where we have thousands of plants pot to pot we are 
forced to water from the top, and we do have to use warm water to keep 
from spotting the leaves. Your question may well be, just how warm 
should the water be for the plants. It can be comfortably warm to the 
touch and it will be just right. It won’t ever hurt to take your plant to 
the sink and use a soft spray of warm water on it to wash the foliage. 
The water for this purpose should be just luke warm and no more. Do 
not set them in the direct Sun or in a cold draft to dry. When watering 
from the top, if there is a surplus of water that drains down into the 
saucer pour it off.
