Monsoon Plants and Monsoon Gardening Tips

 

Monsoon weather is the best time to grow new plants. The humidity and temperature are a suitable combination for plant conditioning and help the roots nourish and grow. The plants also absorb moisture lost during summer. While all seems blissful, monsoon also calls for extra care for your plants, from fertilizer use to watering. 

 Experts at Ratanshi Agro-Hortitech point out five essential things to take care of your plants in this monsoon and monsoon garden plant suggestions.


  • Avoid overwatering

 Monsoon showers can be a hassle, but in the end, you know one good thing about it? Well, they can spare you from watering as there are times when they have already done that for you. 

 So, if you are the kind that heads for that hose every evening, perhaps you need to stop. Enjoy the breaks the monsoons give you and avoid overwatering your plants.

 

  • Ensure adequate drainage

 Every gardener must make sure they’re rid of excess water. Ensure your grower pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent water pooling near the base. This practice is not only beneficial during monsoon but throughout the year. It protects the plants from root rot, bacteria, and fungus.

 

  • Keep a check on infections!

 Infections are what you are perhaps already preparing for once it’s monsoons. Stunted growth due to bugs, leaf patches due to rose black spot fungus, and rice blast fungus decay are just a few indicators to keep an eye on. 

But how do we deal with this? 

 Well, that depends on the kind of plant infection. For more information, always consult a reputed plant nursery online like Ratanshi Agro-Hortitech. The plant nursery in Byculla offers a range of organic and in-organic fungicides and insecticides.

 

  • Adequate ventilation

 Plants require adequate ventilation to remain moist and maintain the right amount of humidity. Indoor plants often face ventilation issues. Try placing the plants near windows (in the case of indoor plants), so they get fresh air essential for photosynthesis.

 

  • Pruning

 Gardeners need to prune plants at the start of the monsoon for healthy plants, and more so in the monsoons. The practice of pruning lowers the occurrence of diseases, boosts yield, rejuvenates plants, prevents infections from insects, and improves their aesthetics.
