How to prevent the sun from harming your plants

We’re beginning to see warmer weather creeping in, and it is expected that this is only going to increase in the coming weeks and months. When temperatures do get very hot, it’s important to look after your garden. Too much sun and the wrong environment can actually harm your plants, but luckily, there are things you can do to prevent this.

Learn how the sun affects different plants

Of course, plants need sunlight in order to grow and thrive. Some plants thrive in the most sun and placing them in the brightest parts of your garden is ideal. However, other plants may need a little more shade, and might start to wilt if they’re left in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This is why it is important to do your research before you start planting.

Choose your location

The most important thing to do is pick the right location in your garden for your plants. This will be somewhere that the plant will be able to thrive, and also somewhere you will be able to admire it growing from your Supremo bari garden furniture.

Water your plants at the right time

It might be tempting to water your plants right at the peak of the day when the sun is at its highest and hottest. However, the sun at this time will dry the water up too quickly and the plant won’t feel the effects. Instead, it’s important to water your plants at cooler times just before the sunshine really hits so the roots can soak in the water ready for the day.

Whatever your methods are for caring for your plants, be sure to make the most of the summer while you can.
