Useful tips. I've lost a few plants like Clematis, Neem & Mulberry after repotting and pruning recently. I did it because temperatures were cooler and all of a sudden a week full of extreme heat caused all those plants to die.
Hola amiga! 👋 I'm sure this video will help a lot of folks.😃 We are in our summer temps...100 to 106 daily. It's according to where ya live if all plants need shade, can't be fed or pruned at these temp. My cosmos, zinnias, sunflowers, and many veggie plants laugh at this heat. They are all in containers...fruit trees as well. We do summer prune our trees...they produce better. I have to transplant in this heat to get fall cold crops. I cover the transplants with shade cloth until the temp come down to the mid-80 in late September. Shade cloth keeps my peppers, basil, and other herbs producing in this heat.👩🏾🌾💕
Hi! I never said that all plants need shade, I said that some plants, especially young, delicate and recently planted ones, may need extra protection and special care during a heatwave, i.e. extremely high temperatures in your climate. Of course, there are plants that are pruned in the summer, but you won't be pruning them in extreme heat, as you said, you wait until the temperature drops a bit ☺️ Shade cloth is a great idea! Happy gardening 💚
Good tips. I hope I can find "Root Power" sounds like just what I need for summer fertilizing. A couple of tips: Like I said, the word "Shadow" is usually for scary things. The umbrella will provide "Shade" which is friendly. Trivial comment, but i like it. Another thing that should be obvious but stupid me did not know when I started gardening: Plants in pots do not get much water from rain. It looks foolish watering a potted plant in the rain, but the leaves of the plant produce what is sometimes called a, rain shadow, so the water goes around the plant and not into the pot. Woops, I used scary SHadow instead of friendly Shade. A single person or plant has a shadow and the common terms for a plant s not letting rain through is "rain shadow". Confusing right!?. Thanks for your help with my containers.
Here in France you can find Power Roots on Amazon or in Culture Indoor, it's linked in my description btw! That's actually a very good point about the rain shadow! Sometimes we think our plants had a nice drink but that's not always the case! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻!
Very helpful, Dominica .Thanks. We had 38 Celsius for more days, my japanese maple is very ugly and the hydrangeas too. Even the ivys look not good on the top, but only a few leaves. The conniferes, the cannas and the begonias are fine, and the asparagus too. Your Dahlias are huge and the boegonias splendid. 🥀🌻
Hi! That's really awesome to hear that this was helpful 🙌🏻 Hope that your plants bounce back and we can enjoy some cooler days soon! Haha yeah those Dahlias and Begonias don't mind at all and are living their best life rn haha!
Hi Dominika (hope I've got your name right). Thank you for tip 5 on watering the leaves of the plants. I noticed powdery mildew on the leaves of my plants and now know the reason why. I'll stop been lazy and start watering them correctly. I have been a subscriber for a while when you showed up in my feed. Thank you.
Hi! I am really glad that this was helpful! Yes powdery mildew loves humidity around the leaves and dry soil, so keep your plant well watered but at the same time keep the water away from the leaves to prevent the disease from spreading further ☺️👍🏻
You need to be sure that the plant is dry. Plants can wilt in the heat of the day because they cannot utilize the water, and perk up in the cool of evening.
