• Always apply a wetting agent to the soil and activate by watering in well. If pots are small submerge the whole pot is a solution of wetting agent until the air bubbles stop rising to the soil surface. Remove and drain. Reapply throughout summer months.
  • Mulch large areas of bare soil with gravel or stones to reduce evaporation and moisture loss.
  • Place in a sunny position through summer where the pot is protected from the direct sun.
  • When hand watering plants apply water slowly, so the water has a chance to soak through to the plants roots rather than running down the inside of the pot and out through the drainage hole.
