Coriander and mint planted on the roof of the house will not dry up even in extreme heat, adopt these 4 gardening formulas to keep it green

News India Live, Digital Desk: As soon as the summer season starts, the intense sunlight and heat makes the condition of not only humans but also the trees and plants in the house miserable. In this summer season, mint and coriander are in highest demand in the kitchen, hence most people like to plant them on their terrace or balcony. But these delicate plants cannot bear the scorching sun and hot winds and often dry up and wither. If you are also struggling with the problem of drying of your coriander and mint plants, then now you do not need to be disappointed. By adopting some very easy and sure shot gardening formulas, you can keep your plants green and blooming even in the scorching heat. Let us know what are these amazing methods.

Choose the right place to keep the plants To protect coriander and mint plants from strong sunlight, the most important thing is to choose the right place for them. Keep these plants at a place where they get only sweet and mild morning sunlight. It is very important to protect them from the strong and scorching afternoon sun, hence the pots should be shifted to a shady place during the day.

Identify the right time and method of watering The soil in the pot dries up very quickly during the summer season, but this does not mean that you should fill the plants to the brim with water. The correct rule of watering is to water it only when the upper soil of the pot looks dry. Overwatering should be avoided, because due to this, the roots of the plants start rotting and the plant gets spoiled very quickly.

Use right fertilizer and pot Having the right fertilizer is very important for the good growth of coriander and mint. You can use thermocol pots to keep the soil cool in summer. Prepare a nutritious base by mixing vermicompost, old cow dung and normal soil well. This natural fertilizer will provide adequate nutrition to your plants and keep them healthy for a long time without rotting.

Use green net or mesh wisely If there is no permanent shade system on your terrace and there is direct sunlight, then use a green net to protect the plants from getting burnt. You can apply a double layer of net over the plants. By doing this, the direct and strong rays of the sun will be filtered, which will protect the tender leaves of the plants from getting burnt and your coriander and mint will remain green throughout the summer.
