Are you struggling to keep your plants alive? Between managing a busy schedule in the fast-paced life of Dubai, plant maintenance bags the least of our concern.

Don’t worry, here are some ways to efficiently maintain and keep your plants alive.

Match the plant with the correct space

It’s imperative to make sure which corner your plant goes. Different plants have varied requirements, some thrive in sunlight, and some don’t.

Learn about your plant’s requirements and then place them accordingly. For instance, keeping your plant near an open window in Dubai’s climate can make your plant dry and kill it.

Make sure that your pot has holes

Draining the water that you use to water your plants is necessary. Plant roots become vulnerable to decay. The sitting water makes the soil soggy and deprives it of adequate oxygen.

The drained water replenishes the soil and drains out useless salts. You can easily find pots with holes in any Dubai based indoor plant maintenance and rental in your neighborhood.

Don’t over-water your plants

Overwatering plants can create a problem of waterlogging. Roots fail to function properly when they are cut-off from oxygen due to the sitting water.

Leaves might suffer from blisters and spots due to over-soaking. Plants are more prone to fungal damages when you over-water them.

Avoid artificial fertilizers

Although they may seem beneficial, chemical-based fertilizers cause more harm than good. Ever since they were first introduced, synthetic fertilizers have been widely promoted due to tremendously improved yield.

However, it is advised to use them in as small amounts as possible. Artificial fertilizers might cause a chemical burn to the soil, acidify it, and devoid it of useful minerals. Several Dubai based companies sell organic fertilizers at a cheap rate, so your best bet is to employ such products.

Pick plants that can survive in the temperature

Since Dubai is a tropical desert, the criteria for choosing plants narrow down to only one — temperature. Selecting plants like bougainvillea that thrive in such a climate is a better option than going for any other plant types. Careful selections require less work and easy maintenance.

Don’t be stressed if all this appears a little overwhelming. You can practice by getting indoor plants for rent, and when you master plant maintenance, just buy one of yourself.
