1. Tips to Grow
Healthy Plants
Despite Weather Changes
w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m

2. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
The Arizona climate includes many
weather changes that make plant
care more challenging.

3. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
From hot and dry droughts
to drenching monsoons and frosty
mornings, you might find it hard
to know how to help your plants
thrive throughout the year.

4. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Choosing hardy plants is a good
rule of thumb to follow when
you design your landscape.

5. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
You can also use these methods
to keep your trees and plants
healthy no matter what
Mother Nature throws your way.

6. Adjust
the Watering
Schedule
w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m

7. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Hydrated plants are better
at surviving extremely hot
or cold weather conditions.

8. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Watering plants at regular
intervals helps to keep the roots
and stems strong.
There is a fine art to watering
plants appropriately.

9. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Each type of plant and tree
has specific watering needs.
These can change along
with the weather.

10. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Scale back your watering schedule
during times of heavy rain.
Doing this prevents problems
such as root rot from developing.

11. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
During the winter months, you may
need to water in the morning after
the sun rises.
It gives the water time to be
absorbed by the soil.

12. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Any water left on the leaves
of your plant will also evaporate
throughout the day.
It prevents the plants from
freezing overnight.

Use Strategic
Planning

14. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
During the winter months, the coldest
part of the day typically occurs just
before the sun rises.

15. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
You can combat the effect that this
has on your plants by placing the
most cold-sensitive ones on your
lawn's eastern side.

16. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
It exposes them to more warmth
and sunlight as the sun emerges
from the East.

17. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
The opposite is also true for plants
that flounder during the heat.
Place these plants on the western
side of your garden to reduce their
exposure to harsh sun rays.

18. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Keep in mind that every lawn
is different.
The location of your house
and other vegetation affects how
the sunlight hits your plants.

19. The latest round in an ongoing debate over global-warming

w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Spend some time observing how the
sunlight hits your yard at different
points of the day.
Then, design your landscaping accordingly.

Protect Plant
with Barriers

21. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Covering plants has several
benefits for helping to prevent
damage from harsh weather.

22. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
You can use sheets to protect
plants from the cold.
Place them over the plants,
making sure that they go all the
way to the ground.

23. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
This traps warmth inside the
blanket along with humidity.

24. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
It is essential to avoid using plastic
sheets because doing so can increase
exposure to cold temperatures.

25. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Instead, use a frost cloth
that is designed for plants.
These need to be removed
as the temperature warms up.

26. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
In the summer, you may need
to use shades to prevent
leaves from burning in the sun.

27. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
These should be used as an umbrella.
Rather than covering the plant entirely,
the goal is to block sunlight while
maintaining airflow around the plant.

28. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Use Mulch
at the Bases

29. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Mulch is an all-season product to use
in your landscaping.
In the summer, mulch helps with water
retention to prevent plant bases
and roots from drying out.

30. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
In the winter, it can serve
as an additional layer of warmth.
Check the mulch regularly for signs
of mold or pest activity, which means
it needs to be replaced.

31. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Seasonal weather changes are a good
reminder to check in on your plants.

32. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
Are they showing signs
of a struggle despite your best
efforts to counteract the damage
from weather changes?

33. w e k i l l w e e d s . c o m
If so, then plant and tree health
care services can help them make
it through the upcoming season.
