Waterlogging is common during monsoons. Ensure your garden has a proper drainage system to remove excess water. Stagnant water harms plant growth and attracts insects, worms, and mosquitoes.
Rain can cause pest infestations. Sprinkle pesticides on your plants to prevent this. Fungal infections are also common, so, use natural fungicides like neem oil or hydrogen peroxide to prevent these.
Rainwater is packed with plant-friendly nutrients. Use it to water your plants during the monsoon. Harvest and use it indoors, but avoid overwatering after rain. Sprinkle rainwater for a refreshing plant boost.
