Just like animals and humans, plants have an immune system - it's their defense mechanism that protects them from infections and other potential dangers.

While some plant varieties are just naturally more protected than others, you still can improve your garden's immune system.

Here are a few tips on how to achieve that.

Give Them Good Care

Provide the right amount of water, sunlight, and nutrients that the plant needs to stay healthy.

Healthy plants can protect themselves from potential dangers way better.

Use Natural Helpers

Some natural substances, like neem oil or garlic spray, can help keep pests away and support the plant's health.

Make sure you learn everything you can about these methods and what they can protect you from.

Prune and Clean

Remove damaged or dead parts of the plant to prevent diseases from spreading.

It's essential because dead parts attract pests and infections a lot.

Plant Diversity

Growing different types of plants together can make it harder for pests to spread because they won't all like the same plants.

Healthy Soil

Good soil with the right nutrients can make plants stronger and more able to defend against diseases.

Conclusion

By taking these steps, you can help your plants have a strong immune system and stay healthy.
