In Texas, the optimal time to water is during the very early morning hours when
there is no wind. That way, the water does not percolate down beyond the roots,
but gives the plant time to use it by capillary action in the soil all during
the day. When you water at night, the water is leached away, or too deep for
roots to reach it. Any time your plants or turf is drying or cupping or curling
is an indication to water immediately. Early morning is best, all around.
