The heat of the summer is now showing in drooping and drying-out containers. Save your beautiful blooms and plants by following a few simple tips. Getting ready for your summer vacation? These tips will help protect your containers while you’re away:
• Water early in the morning to decrease evaporation
• Add succulents to containers that require less watering such as sedum
• Add a layer of Coir Fiber as a top dressing to your containers. The coir fiber will retain moisture and will protect plant roots from heat, PLUS its environmentally-friendly!
• The Happy Gardener’s Store n’ Feed Gel can be added to existing container plants simply by using a pencil to make 4-6 holes in the soil. Fill each hole with ¼ teaspoon of the gel powder. The gel acts as a water reservoir for plants.
• Install a rain barrel to collect rain water to use for watering your containers. Click here for more information on how you can make your own rain barrel.
