Garden Some other tips to try… • Avoid planting in dark-coloured pots. They retain heat and accelerate moisture evaporation. • Recycle plastic bottles. Pierce small holes in them, put the top back on and put in one of your pots upside down. • Worth a try is drip irrigation using strips of old fabric, with one end in your chosen pot and the other in a reservoir of water. Good for a group of pots if you are going away for a while. • Try any number of the plant gels that are on the market. Garden centres and dare I say it, Amazon, have any number to buy. I was reading about Plant Gel, a polymer, which has been used by the US Forestry Service for years, especially when they are trying to establish trees and plants in desert areas. This particular one contains water retaining properties as well as nutrients. An ideal combination. • Another cheap idea is to use old household sponges in your pot’s compost. I think I’m going to try that one. inexpensive rolls of split bamboo or reeds attached to vertical stakes. They’ll do the trick. And then there are the plants you choose themselves. Bear in mind where they come from and what conditions they are used to and then you can’t go wrong. Just try to emulate what they have come to expect! Mediterranean plants are used to very high midday temperatures, often in excess of 38°C, and they have adapted to drought and to retaining their water reserves during the hot season. Their leaves are often silvery, small, leathery or hairy – all adaptations to the conditions ‘they grew up in’. These plants are often easy to grow in pots as long as you don’t water too much and have some winter protection. Oh, and ignore the idea of a spring mulch, they just need minimal watering and well-drained soil. If you are tucking them away into a well-lit shed or porch in the winter months, don’t do it too soon. They need time to ‘harden off’ so they are prepared for the vagaries of the UK’s winter. Sub-tropical plants, too, can be great candidates for pots as their large, lush leaves adapted to high humidity can regulate their own temperature through transpiration, meaning that they rarely dry out. Just what you want. It’s simply working out which works best for them and for you.
