Top 3 Ways to Recover from Summer

Written by Arica Harrison | 8/24/18 2:47 PM

This summer has been a hot one and your plants need some help recovering and getting ready for fall! After many sweltering days, our landscapes need a little extra loving. How can we help our yards recover? We have asked our nursery professionals and here are their top three ways to help our trees and plants while also getting ready for fall.

 

  1. Moon Juice and Soil & Water Conditioner

Are your plants looking a bit yellow and wilting? Has the heat gotten the better of your landscape materials? That’s a common occurrence here in Las Vegas. The best way to help combat the heat stressors and to help your trees and plants grow healthy, is to use fertilizers. Fertilizers are made to help trees, palms, and other plants to regain their health. Healthy trees and plants will handle the changing weather much better than those still weak from heat stress. Nevada’s soil has higher pH levels; by using Moon Valley Nursery’s Soil & Water Conditioner, you can prime your soil to provide more water to your plants. This conditioner is a great help in making sure your trees and plants intake as much nutrients as possible. We love to use it before using our Moon Juice to maximize the revival potential. Our Super Charged Moon Juice is specially formulated with Furst liquid technology and includes a blend of organic enzymes and amino acids that help stimulate the growth of trees and plants, along with new root hair growth which helps plants increase moisture intake. Create a thriving, healthy landscape – fertilize your trees, palms, and plants.

  1. Watering

Watering is one of the most important aspects in keeping your trees and plants healthy. You want to make sure you are watering the properly. You want to make sure you are not over-watering as we transition from summer to fall. Soon, we will have shorter days and cooler nights; and many people do not change their watering amount. We will need to switch our water systems from summer to fall settings as it starts to cool down. While it is still hot, early mornings or late evenings are the best times for watering. How much you should water and how often depends on the size and age of the tree, palm, or plant.

Don’t forget that proper watering is the deep and thorough saturation of the entire root system, while allowing it to dry between waterings.

  1. Tree Care

Summer can beat up our trees, palms, and plants. Not all our landscape materials will survive the stressors of the consistent high heat. And no landscape looks good with dead or damaged trees.
