September, being the first month of autumn, brings forward a lot more heat with sweltering temperatures. At times, heat strokes are also possible in Dubai and around. In this case, you should be extremely cautious about how to build up your beautiful balcony gardens. And if you are new to gardening, Garden Me UAE’s September gardening guide 2021 will be at your service below.
Follow These Tips And Make Your Compact Balconies In Dubai More Beautiful And Attractive In September:
Know the type of garden you want:
Everything begins with your idea of your dream balcony garden, irrespective of the month. But as per the current September gardening guide 2021 for your Dubai gardens, know the theme you want to set up.
You can grow succulents, perennials, shrubs, and even plants to grow in containers. Buy online plants from Garden Me UAE to suit your garden needs this September without worrying.
Best time to improve your pot’s soil:
Fall is the season where your pot’s soil needs a change. If the pots are small, you can use a garden fork to turn over the soil top. When that’s done, add at least 2 to 3 inches of manure and compost. Spread it evenly using the spade or rototill it.
You can go for the rotted, chicken, and even horse manure available in the market. However, the latter two are best only if you think winters will be harsh for your plants.
Clean up your garden regularly:
Do not just let the plants you buy online, like Acacia Arabica, B. Glabra Bush, Beach Hibiscus wither and rot. You should take some responsibility as a beginner or mature gardener. So, indulge in activities like checking for the bristle or leather leaves.
Check whether you need to clean the soil top and remove the extra dirt and pesticides. If you do that on time, extra nutrition and water will be properly used by every plant’s stem.
Bring your beautiful plants indoors when it’s extremely hot:
Autumn is the changing season in Dubai, where certain locations do face heat strokes and heat cramps. Under this situation, watering your Garden Me UAE houseplants isn’t enough.
You need to bring them indoors when the sunlight is too harsh. If you feel the heatstroke circling around, it’s the right time to treat your houseplant with some shade.
This activity prevents your garden from withering and departing from its beauty. When you put your beautiful houseplants like Blue Plumbago, and Chinese Ixora indoors for a few hours, the plants do not have to face the direct and harmful UV rays. A shaded area for about 6-8 hours can preserve the nutrition count in different parts of the plant.
This way, the growth of the same plant doesn’t stop or hamper when the season changes. And when there’s less heat, you can bring the plant out again to enhance the balcony garden beauty once more.
Use plants that have heat resistance:
As per our September gardening guide 2021 in Dubai, planting and growing perennials like Succulents is a very good idea. At least, these plants don’t require your supervision much, even when the season starts to change.
They can bear the minimum and the average heat stroke episodes in Dubai all year. So, the beauty and the essence of your balcony gardens aren’t robbed.
Check up on the underwatering conditions of your plants:
According to the September gardening guide 2021, you should not let the plant dry. To avoid this disaster, check up on the health of the soil top. It shouldn’t be too dry. If it is, leaves face the impact and so do the flowers, if any.
And if you get into an underwatering situation, that’s okay. Don’t panic in that scene.
Just follow the Garden Me UAE’s underwatering tips like:
- Cut off the brown leaves,
- Start watering the plants again on time, and
- Improve the quality of the soil tip.
