How much water are you applying per day, per nana plant?
And, what is the size of the plants?


I'm seeing plantation drip systems applying 5-6 lpd per young plants to 25-30 lpd per at maturity & bunching. Of course this is an increasing scale as the plant grows & size. ... The balancing act here is to replace the water loss due to plant transpiration (size related) & soil evaporation loss to maintain the air-water ratio of the soil.
