Plants are living things that always adapt themselves to every season. Like humans, when they feel cold, they would wear coats. Especially in summer, there are many factors that affect our plants such as high temperatures, leaf scorch, pests, and so on.

        Today we’re going to show you ‘‘5 Techniques to Take Care of Your Garden in Summer’’ Let’s see!

1. Look out for pests and weeds

        During the summer, insects and weeds are highly increased, so you should always keep an eye on your plants. See if there are any pests on your plants. If so, you should get rid of them before they are out of control. You can use water to drive the bugs away while you’re watering because they don’t like moist plants. For weeds, you should uproot these parasitic threats because they’ll make your plants weak and undernourished. 

2. Add fertilizers carefully

       You shouldn’t add fertilizers too frequently because it’ll accelerate the growth of the leaves and those new leaves won’t be able to bear with air and light in the summer. Moreover, if you use foliar feeding, make sure that there are not any left on the leaves because it would cause leaf scorching. Plus, you shouldn’t use insecticides during the summer because it would cause leaf scorching and growth disorders as well.

3. Prune your plants

       Pruning can help your plants survive in the summer because plants transpire through their leaves. If plants have many leaves, it would cause excessive transpiration. Moreover, Pruning also makes your plants look beautiful and helps them grow new limbs. Plus, if you notice an unusual limb early, you can trim it out before it gets too late and kills your plants. 

4. Water your plants properly

        Plants will lose more water than usual in the summer, so you should water them between the morning and 8 o’clock. Watering in the early morning is very best for plants because the light is not too strong at that time. Moreover, the more your plants contain moisture, the more risk for your plants to get sick and get mold. Thus, watering once per week and covering the soil with objects like coconut husks or straws are very best suited.

5. Keep the soil healthy

       Summer is the time for plants to refresh since they don’t put forth fresh leaves as much. Thus, this is a good time for soil recovery. Moreover, because of the high temperature in the summer, the soil can’t drain and absorb water like normal. Therefore, soil cultivation is very useful because it can make soil smooth and increase cavities for absorbing water.

       As from above, it’s very important to take care of plants in summer. Whether a big factor like the high temperature, strong light, and so on. Thus, if you don’t want to lose your lovely plants, you should always care for them to have them stay with you for a long time.
