In this blog, we will discuss the secrets of plant selection, watering techniques, fertilization, and pest control along with proper maintenance.
Choosing the right plans aids in garden maintenance in Qatar
For your garden to maintain its perfect condition, you need to select plants that can handle the challenging climatic conditions of Qatar. Going for native or drought-tolerant plants will be a good idea as it will improve your garden’s resilience and the plants will thrive well on their own, reducing maintenance needs. For drought resistant plants,the most common selection are succulents, cacti, and other desert-adapted plants. If you are looking to add a dash of color, then get bougainvillea, lantana, and frangipani. Qatar has some native plants that will thrive well because they conserve water and provide shade. These plants are sidr trees (Ziziphus spina-christi) and ghaf trees.
The watering technique has to be right
Since Qatar’s climate is really hot, you need to employ a smart method that will avoid water wastage and ensure the plants receive the hydration they need, without the damage of overwatering. A smart watering system would be drip irrigation where the water will reach the plants’ root directly, providing steady moisture for your plants without saturating the soil. The best time to water the plants would be early morning because the temperatures are cooler. It would also help water early in the morning because the soil helps absorb best at the time, because as the time goes by, the sun would get stronger. You can add a layer of organic mulch made of wood chips or compost around your plants. This would help retain moisture in the soil once you finish watering them.
Give your plants the food and nourishment it needs
Different fertilizers provide different nourishment and nutrition to the plants and leaves. For example, with Organic fertilizers like compost and manure, you can enrich the soil. Applying balanced N-P-K (Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium) fertilizer would help with (Nitrogen) leaf growth, (phosphorus) root development, and (potassium) overall plant health. You can apply these fertilizers during the cooler months like in the early spring or fall and make sure your plants get enough nutrition because Qatar is notorious for its sandy and less fertile soil.
Pest Control
The warm climate in the country facilitates insects and fungi growth, so you need to hire garden maintenance in Qatar services. They will remove infested leaves, apply natural insecticides and even encourage natural predators, like ladybugs and praying mantises to control the insect population.
