Why Summer Care Matters for Indoor Plants in Dubai
Dubai summers are intense, and while your indoor plants are protected from direct sun, the heat still affects them. High indoor temperatures and AC exposure can stress plants. That’s why it’s essential to adjust your fertilizing routine. Proper feeding boosts their immunity and keeps your greenery lush and vibrant. -
Choosing the Right Fertilizer for Indoor Plants
Opt for organic, water-soluble fertilizers with balanced NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) values. Look for labels like “indoor plant food” or “natural houseplant fertilizer.” Liquid fertilizers work best in summer, as they’re quickly absorbed and easy to apply. Always choose a formula suited to the plant type—succulents, leafy greens, or flowering plants. -
When and How Often to Fertilize in Summer
During peak growth (May–August), feed your indoor plants every 2–4 weeks. Mornings are ideal to prevent nutrient shock. Make sure the soil is slightly moist before applying to avoid root burn. Reduce frequency slightly if your home is highly air-conditioned, as growth slows in cooler indoor climates. -
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Hot Weather
Avoid over-fertilizing—it can damage roots and attract pests. Never fertilize dry soil or use heavy chemical formulas in the summer. Read plant-specific needs carefully; some, like succulents and cacti, need minimal feeding. Observing leaf color and growth can help adjust your routine.
