Introduction

Monsoon is a blessing for your garden—but only if managed right. Here are 10 proven tips to keep your garden healthy and lush during the rainy season.

Ensure Proper Drainage

Avoid waterlogging by using raised beds or well-drained pots to protect roots from rotting.

Use Organic Mulch

Apply dry leaves or straw as mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

Prune Before the Rains

Trim dead or weak branches to reduce fungal infections and promote healthy growth.

 Choose Rain-Loving Plants

Opt for plants like hibiscus, turmeric, and ferns that thrive in high humidity and moisture.

Use Neem Oil Spray

Protect your plants from fungal infections and pests with weekly neem oil sprays.

Check Soil Regularly

Too much rain can wash away nutrients—test and replenish with compost or organic fertilizers.

Stake Tall Plants

Support tall plants like tomatoes or sunflowers with stakes to prevent them from falling over.

Remove Weeds Quickly

Rain boosts weed growth—remove them regularly to protect plant nutrients and space.
