Most people water very stupidly on drip. Too frequent and not enough at one time. All my plants are on “drips” but I use bubblers on the end so I can flood the root zone if needed or completely turn off on my dormant trees in winter. Most people have a 1-2 GPH dripper line running and that’s it. Running it for 15 minutes won’t do shit.
Honestly most landscapers don’t water correctly here either. I know I tell my front yard landscaper to not touch my drip system, just trim my plants bitch! I only have him to stay in HOA compliance and the backyard landscape is enough to keep me busy. Palms need a lot more water in summer here and some fertilizer.
How long are your zones running? Do you just have a single drip line to each plant? Let’s start there and we can get your plants looking better.
