Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comOn Gardener’s World on 12th June, I heard Monty Don say that plants in outdoor pots may only need watering once or twice week.

Is this the case, as I have always used an automatic watering system twice each day.

Watering depends on some many things, type of plant, pot size, potting medium and soil, temperature, wind conditions.
You really have to check the soil and water as needed.
More water will be needed as temperatures rise.
Here is a great article.
