To keep indoor hanging plants healthy all summer long, you must follow these steps:
Watering Frequently: Indoor hanging plants in Dubai generally need to be watered in regular intervals because they are subjected to very drying winds. You can easily measure the depth of dryness by putting your finger one inch into the soil. It is also better to water hanging plants every day or twice a day. However, remember the water must stream from the container using drainage holes.
Deadhead Blooming Plants: If the flowers fade, remove them from the plant by pinching them off. This facilitates the formation of new flowers or the plant may put its energy into making seed if the faded flower meets with the stem. It is necessary to do plant maintenance in Dubai to promote their growth.
In a mixed basket, replace plants as needed: It is always better to remove plants from a mixed planting container if they finished blooming or if they are not growing. Removing it out will be beneficial for other plants and try to replace it with something else. Additionally, plug the space with the maximum amount of soil and keep other plants to fill the gap.
Fertilise: Frequent watering may cause nutrient deficiency and leave the potting mix quickly. Try feeding the plants with liquid fertilisers or dry slow-release fertilisers however, do not use both at the same time. Follow directions from an experienced plant shop in Dubai to understand the accurate frequency of fertiliser to be used. It is better to feed when the soil is moist and avoid feeding during the wilting, otherwise, the fertiliser may burn the plants. However, if the soil is dry, water the container thoroughly and revisit to feed the plant after a few hours when the plant looks perky.
If necessary, soak: In certain situations where the water streams from the container holes but the soil still seems dry, it is better to submerge the container in the water bucket and place it for up to an hour to thoroughly rewet the soil.
Cut back leggy plants: if the plants look straggly, cut them back at the earliest. Most indoor hanging plants possess the regrowth ability after cutting them back.
