Best Answer

It is said that watering your plants with lukewarm water is best, as cold water will shock the roots. I think it kind of goes without saying that you wouldn't pour boiling water on your plants to water them, as the original answer says.

Original answer: It does not matter. But you most likely shoudn't put boiling water in it.

Yes, you should. # A freeze attacks plants above and below ground. Above ground, it and cold's drying heat and winds take water out of plants at faster rates than it's taken in by roots. Below ground, it makes moisture in soil unavailable to thirsty roots. # The practice of watering before a freeze is common to Florida's citrus tree industries.

# Be they herbaceous [lower-growing] or woody [higher-growing such as shrubs and trees], plants elsewhere fare better through other practices. # Regular watering schedules year-round keep soil moist. Moist soil particles stick like freckles to sharp instruments such as screwdrivers that are stuck into the ground. But soil mustn't be waterlogged. That'll lead to root rot, and all sorts of fungal issues. The general rule's to break the year up into a series of 7-10 days. Whenever there's neither a rain nor a snow fall event during that time soil can be watered 1/2" biweekly, 1" weekly. # Fertilize in spring. If plants look like they need fall fertilizer, apply compost; compost tea; or fertilizer that's low on nitrogen, high on potassium. For nitrogen encourages plants to grow when they should be dormant. But potassium contributes to overall health to get plants through dormancy and winter. # Compost, or organic mulches such as dead leaves, evens temperatures, and holds in soil moisture. So layer 2-3" high out to the drip lines of the plant's furthest extended branches, in all directions. Leave 1-2" mulch-free spaces all around plant stems and tree trunks. Mulch in contact with stems and trunks encourages fungal diseases by holding in moisture, and hides plant-eating critters.

If the plants are growing outside and it's freezing there is no reason to water the plants because they are dormant. aka sleeping for the winter
