With the summer heat beating down upon us, our green friends
too suffer at the hands of the harsh sunlight. Here are a few tips to save your
plants from getting sun-damaged:
Shifting the planters
to a place where the heat doesn't beat down as fiercely-too much of
sunlight can cause the plant to wilt. Provide a shade above or shift the pots
to a shady place where the amount of sunlight is just right.
Using a water spray
can be effective in two ways-one the water can seep through the mulch and
penetrate deep into the roots and two, this also saves precious amount of water
in the season of water scarcity.
Watering the
plants early in the morning or late in
the evening will reduce the amount of water lost due to evaporation. Also, watering deeply rather than frequently
will ensure more water penetration and this is especially true for grass lawns.
Providing more mulch
through dried twigs, leaves, etc will help the soil to remain moist. Mulch also
provides the extra fertilizer needed for the plants.
Plants need more
fertilizer during summer and by composting at home, one can provide the
rich and organic fertilizer to the plants. Tips to effectively compost at home
can be found here.
Regular pruning and
trimming of hedges, shrubs and plants must be done to avoid excess water
transpiration. In addition, the plants look better cared for and thrive better.
