Gardening Tips For Monsoon Season
high winds, dust, and severe downpours that can result in floods.
A severe storm includes micro bursts which can cause
strong winds that can cause significant damage to your garden.
| Pruning
Pruning is great way to protect your plants from damage caused by high winds.
Pruning is beneficial to plants for many reasons:
thinned out plants are often healthier and stronger
and allow winds to travel through them instead of winds running into them,
which can cause plants to break or become uprooted.
| Plant heat-loving plants
It is the perfect time to plant plants that grow well in the heat.
The humidity and rain that come along with monsoons
is the perfect time to do so.
So take advantage of it!
Some of the heat-loving plants are:
- Hibiscus
- Cacti
- Aloes
- Agaves
- Lantana
- Adeniums
Some of the tips to successfully grow heat-loving plants are to
take advantage of recent rain showers to make digging easier
in preparation for planting.
The wet soil will be much easier and less messier to dig
than dry soil.
Add recommended soils and amendments to help plants grow well.
To help plants get established, water them every morning.
Even if the weather forecast says that there is expected rain,
always water them every morning.
Skip watering if you've had a recent heavy rain
and the ground is very wet.
Try planting one of these heat-loving plants this summer!
