Mumbai’s summers can be brutal on plants, with soaring temperatures, harsh sunlight, and dry winds. Without proper preparation, gardens can quickly lose their lush green beauty. But with a few smart steps, you can help your plants not just survive, but thrive. Here are 7 expert tips from Bhoomi Service to prepare your garden for the city’s intense summer months.
1. Choose Heat-Resistant Plants
Opt for hardy plants like bougainvillea, oleander, and hibiscus that naturally withstand Mumbai’s hot climate. Our gardening services in Mumbai can help you select and plant varieties best suited for summer survival.
2. Water Early in the Morning
Watering between 6–8 AM reduces evaporation loss and ensures plants absorb maximum moisture before the heat peaks. For busy homeowners, Bhoomi Service can set up automated watering systems.
3. Mulch to Lock in Moisture
Add a 2–3 inch layer of organic mulch like straw, coconut husk, or wood chips around plants to retain soil moisture and keep roots cool. Our landscaping experts can apply mulching techniques that boost soil health.
4. Provide Shade for Sensitive Plants
Use shade nets or garden umbrellas to protect delicate plants like ferns, lettuce, or orchids from direct sunlight. Bhoomi Service’s gardening team can install shade structures tailored to your space.
5. Prune Dead or Weak Growth
Remove dry branches and overgrown parts to reduce the plant’s water demand and encourage healthy growth. Regular garden maintenance services ensure pruning is done at the right time and in the right way.
6. Adjust Fertilizing Schedule
Switch to slow-release organic fertilizers to prevent root burn and keep soil nutrients stable during heatwaves. Our expert gardeners use eco-friendly fertilizers to protect plants in extreme heat.
7. Maintain Proper Soil Health
Mix compost and cocopeat into your soil to improve water retention and aeration for roots. Bhoomi Service offers soil improvement solutions for long-term plant health.
Conclusion
With these summer care techniques, your garden can remain vibrant and healthy even in Mumbai’s harshest weather. Consistent watering, soil care, and shade protection make all the difference.
