also&nbsp;<strong>faster<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our advice is to water&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>in the early hours of the morning<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;when temperatures are not yet too high: in this way, the roots will have more time to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>absorb the water&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;they need before it evaporates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watering at lunchtime, for example, is a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>serious mistake&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;precisely because, with the highest temperatures of the day and the strongest sun, the water tends to evaporate in just a few minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Move the plant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many plants that love&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>direct sunlight<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and even these, when&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>temperatures exceed 30\u00b0C<\/strong>&nbsp;, certainly don&#8217;t like being in the sun all the time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, if the plant is in a pot, you can&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>move it<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;to&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;indirect light<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;or&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>partial shade<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;When doing so, also take into account the species of plant you have in front of you and its exposure needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Oh I forgot!&nbsp;If you like these Natural Tips I can send them to you every day directly on WHATSAPP!&nbsp;Subscribe to my channel!&nbsp;I am waiting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the plant generally wants a lower temperature, you can also think about moving it to an indoor location in your home where temperatures&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>are<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;generally&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lower<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect it with a cloth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can&#8217;t move your plant because perhaps the pot is too heavy, you can think about&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>covering it<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;during the&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;hottest hours<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In these cases, use a&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>breathable sheet&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;of those that are often used even in winter to protect the plants from the elements.&nbsp;Keeping it covered too much, however, is never good for the plant: for this reason, in the cooler hours, remove the protective sheet so as to leave the plant free to breathe and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>absorb softer light<\/strong>&nbsp;again .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look at the hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants don&#8217;t always&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;suffer<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;from too much heat and&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>too much sun<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;At the same time, it is never easy to understand when a plant is starting to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>suffer from the heat<\/strong>&nbsp;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A secret?&nbsp;Look at his hair.&nbsp;If, in fact, you notice the presence of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>spots<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;on the leaves, usually with an&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>asymmetrical shape<\/strong>&nbsp;,&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;they could be burns<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;As soon as they appear, implement one of the prevention methods we have just seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another symptom is when the&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>leaves start to yellow&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;or dry out very quickly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green leaves, flowers, scents and sinuous shapes: plants can really transform your&nbsp;&nbsp;balcony&nbsp;&nbsp;into a small corner of&nbsp;&nbsp;urban jungle&nbsp;.
