Gardening During a Heatweave - What You Should & Shouldn't Do With Plants

Very helpful!! Thank you!!

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.

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.

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.👩🏾‍🌾💕

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.

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. 🥀🌻

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.

nice video

Hi, Dominica. Happy vacation!

Missing you! Looking forward to Fall! Hope all is well!
