To enjoy a healthy and beautiful garden is necessary in the hottest months of the year take account of certain practices. Some of these are:
Irrigation
· grass and sun-exposed plants require almost daily watering.
· hanging baskets require more water because the evaporation is higher.
· Crasas or Succulent plants, and subtropical plants such as Yucca, Dracaena, etc. and palm trees as the palm (Chamaerops) require less watering.
· Care with the pots at this time because they lose water rapidly.
- Waters in the cooler hours: early morning or late at night.
Subscriber
· With a regular fertilizer, it maintains and promotes vegetative activity and flowering of many species are in full swing.
- potted plants and flower bloom for a long time and need fertilizer
Pruning
- cuts hedges need maintenance throughout the summer.
- Removes old wood, broken or diseased.
- Remove faded flowers, and flowering will be prolonged.
- Pinching spent flowers and disposal of liveliness.
- Clean and trim the bushes that have lost their shape as they grow, for example, the Abelia.
Multiplication

- Removes weeds by hand. With each record will leave less time without using herbicides.
- Vines are tied as they grow.
- The plants will need staking, for example, new stems of dahlias, which could break the wind.
Lawn
