Taking care of plants during a warm and dry summer can be a challenging task, but with proper attention and care, they can thrive. Firstly, watering is crucial. Water sufficiently during dry summers. For most plants the soil should remain somewhat humid. Dig 5-10 cm in the soil to test the humidity. Consider watering late in the evening to minimize evaporation and risk of sunburn. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and reduce weed growth. Protecting plants from direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day can prevent sunburn. Regularly inspect plants for signs of stress, such as wilting or yellowing leaves, and provide appropriate remedies like fertilization or shade. With a little extra care, your plants can survive and flourish despite the scorching summer heat.
