Gardens suffer from the heat, but potted plants are not necessarily left out. Potted plants should therefore be watered more often than usual and their roots buried in a good substrate.
“The substrate means having very good soil, good quality soil. For example, you have potting soil that is sold commercially now, with fertilizer for several months, with clay soil that allows it to retain a minimum of humidity. And you can also incorporate what are called grains of water which precisely allow the plant to draw its water needs. What is also very important for a potted plant is to create a water reserve in it”adds the garden contractor.
Another useful tip: in the bottom of the pot, make a reserve of water with clay balls, which allows the excess water that falls from watering to remain in the water reserve below the pot. .
