In Milli Liters please, it’s for a science fair experiment so i need exact measurements. Just give me and about, it doesnt need to be exact. Please dont tell me it depends, just give me an exact measurement.

    Sorry, but it does indeed “depend”. On lots of factors.

    How big the pot is (a large pot will need more water than a small pot). What kind of soil you use (some hold moisture a long time, some drain away water and dry out quickly). As well as environmental conditions. The warmer the air, the more water it will use and need. The cooler it is, the less water it uses.

    So it really and truly is impossible to give you exact measurements.

    What I can tell you is that if you have your said potted bean plant in front of you, measure your water, and pour into the pot. Keep pouring in increments, until you see water coming out of the bottom of the pot (a healthy plant absolutely needs drainage in the pot). Then measure the amount you have left, and you’ll know how much you used. That will be very close to the “exact amount” you’re looking for.

    Water your bean plants at least once every day. Completely soak the plants from the tops to the bottoms. If they are in containers, water them until water runs out of the bottom of the container. If they are planted in the ground, water until the ground is saturated. However, do not over-water the plants. If you allow water to puddle up in the soil or along the base of the plant, the plant will become flooded and the root structure will die. During especially hot months and times of little rain, water your bean plants in the early morning and in the early evening. This keeps water from evaporating right away and gives the beans a chance to absorb the water.
