Our complete guide to caring for your plants in summer.

Summer can be a tricky time for your houseplants. Just like us, they can suffer from heat, prolonged exposure to sun, a lack ofhydration ...  In order to prevent this we give you in this article all our advice so that your plants also have a good summer.

• EXHIBITION

Many plants, tropical or not, fear direct sunlight . Make sure your plants are positioned correctly in your interior to avoid burning their leaves.

In addition, after a long winter and gray weather until June, your plants need to be reaccustomed to the sun's rays, do not expose them too directly or for too long the first time. You can take them out on your balcony, terrace or in your garden by sheltering them, if the heat is not too stifling.

• SPEND MORE TIME WITH YOUR PLANTS

Make it a habit to check the soil of your smallest plants almost daily, because it is the smallest POTS that dry out the fastest. Also remember to look more regularly at your succulents, cacti and hanging plants, they also need to be watered.

• FRESHNESS

You can group your plants and spray them, most tropical plants will appreciate it. This will allow your plants to stay fresh a little longer, clean their leaves and facilitate their photosynthesis, they will give you beautiful, big leaves !

For example, you can use our metal spray bottle.

• A GOOD WATERING BEFORE LEAVING

On the day of your departure, group your plants in a cool room and water them abundantly (but don't drown them!). They will dry more slowly.

• LE OYA

An oya is a small gardener's tool that waters plants autonomously. Generally it is a drop-shaped container, made of terracotta, which is filled with water and planted in the pot of your plant, or in the garden. The oya then waters the earth gradually.

It's an sprinkler ecological and reusable, and we have magnificent models on our site !

If you don't want to have any, you can try a fairly well-known trick : group your plants, place a large bucket or basin in the center. Take some rope or fairly thick string, dip one end into the basin or bucket, and push the other end into the earth in the pot. Place one rope per plant. The water should gradually migrate down the rope to your soil, and slowly water your plant.
