After heavy rain, check your plants for any signs of damage, such as broken stems or uprooted plants. Address any immediate physical damage gently.
Ensure that excess water can drain away from the plant roots. If your plants are in pots, make sure they have drainage holes and are elevated a bit.
If the soil is waterlogged, gently tip the pots or beds to allow excess water to drain away. Avoid compacting the soil further.
Trim any damaged or broken branches or leaves using clean, sharp pruners. This helps prevent diseases and encourages healthy growth.
In monsoon, plants may not need additional watering for some time. Adjust your watering schedule accordingly to prevent overwatering.
Heavy rain can leach nutrients from the soil. Consider applying a balanced fertilizer to replenish essential nutrients.
Rains can increase the risk of fungal diseases. Watch for signs such as wilting, yellowing leaves, or moldy spots. Remove affected leaves.
Plants may become top-heavy or weakened by heavy rain. Stake tall plants or those prone to bending to provide support and prevent damage.
