Plant update

6/26 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who has been nurturing plants in Texas for a few years, I can attest to how rewarding it is to see steady progress by early summer. June in Texas is typically warm and humid, which creates a great environment for many plant species, but it also requires mindful care to prevent overwatering or pest issues. I usually ensure my plants get morning sun exposure and plenty of water early in the day, allowing them to absorb moisture before the heat peaks. One challenge I often encounter is balancing watering schedules since Texas weather can shift unexpectedly. Using mulch around the base of plants helps retain moisture and keeps the roots cool. Also, I’ve found that incorporating organic fertilizers in early June supports healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Pay attention to signs like drooping leaves or discoloration as indicators that your plants need adjustments in care. Don’t hesitate to prune dead or yellowing parts to encourage new growth. Sharing progress updates, like this one tagged with #lotsofprettyplants and #update, helps foster a supportive community where exchanging tips and experiences can improve everyone’s gardening journey.

This heat is no joke 🥵🥵☀️☀️. My plants are starting to look dry because I haven't been watering them enough between work and kids lately, but I hope they start getting their color back. And yes I do need to replant them but omg I need the space lol. 😂
