Hot weather can be hard on your plants. In some countries, summers can get extremely hot for your medicinal plants. Even with adequate watering and mulching, plants can suffer when the temperatures rise but there are a few things you can do to help protect plants from heat stress during the hottest part of the summer.
Signs of Heat Stress:
- Leaf wilt
- Leaf burn
- Plants that stop flowering
- Overly dry soil
Here are techniques that you can adopt to get your plants out of the heated situation and reduce the stress.
Solution:
Water Supply
Deep water plants first thing in the morning, if possible. The best time to water your plants is early morning, as the evaporation rate is less. Water will be available for your plants when they need it during the hot part of the day. Water your plants 2-3 times a week or whenever they look dry.
If you have a terrace vegetable garden, then it is advisable to install a proper drainage system. Drip irrigation will help you to water your garden in the most efficient way. The water will directly get delivered to the plant’s root area, in the right amounts, at the right time.
Containers
Planting your medicinal plants in containers will make your life easier. If your plants are in pots, move them indoors or to an area with shade. Place temporary shading, such as shade cloth, over plants to keep them cool and block out the sun’s rays. You can move your plants to the area that receive less heat during the hot months of summer. You can even use grow bags to grow your plants as they absorb less heat and keep your plants cool.
Air-conditioner
If you already own an industrial air conditioner, chances are good that you will rest easy (even if you are not yet safe from all the problems).
