Pal Talks Volume 2 – January

New year brings new hope. Sometimes, it also brings new challenges.

Rapidly changing weather is posing health problems for us and, for our plants too.

Here are a few ways to save your plants from climate change:

Water plants enough on hot, dry days. Reduce the amount of water on cold, foggy days.

Curling of leaves inward or outward, a powdery layer, white dots on the surface are signs of distress.

Winter is the hibernation / survival time for plants. Pruning plants without an urgent need may add stress.

Important: In extremely cold days, cover your plants after sunset with a cloth and remove it in the morning. Applies to perennials plants especially Tulsi.

Chrysanthemum can vibrancy to almost any space. This short-heighted plant gives blooms in several colours.

Make this easy decoction to boost immunity in plants. Mix and apply 1 part turmeric powder + 1 part cinnamon powder to fight fungal infections.
