How to keep your plants healthy during the heat wave: tips for gardeners
Hot weather negatively affects not only the well-being of people, but also plants.
How to help plants in the garden during the heat
Often plants begin to wilt due to extreme heat and lack of moisture in the soil.
Wilting is a natural protective reaction of plants to conserve moisture at high air temperatures.
Therefore, this is not always a sign that watering is not enough.
To test the amount of moisture in the soil, stick your finger down an inch.
If you feel the soil is moist, no watering is necessary.
If the soil is dry, water the plant generously with fresh water.
It is also worth watering plants in the garden only early in the morning and late in the evening.
This is due to the fact that at this time of day the soil temperature is the lowest and the water does not have time to evaporate.
Water potted plants every day.
For garden plants, one watering every four or five days is usually sufficient.
