WHAT TO DO DURING A DROUGHT for your plants in Kelowna • Doing nothing is sometimes best • Avoid fertilizer - it can burn root hairs, cause drying out of the tissue • Avoid pruning - it stimulates new growth, which uses water reserves • Avoid pesticides - they can injure drought-stressed foliage • Avoid watering, obviously • Turn off your controller or adjust moisture sensors for minimum watering • Allow plants to wilt, up to a point • Remove unnecessary plants to provide more water for those remaining |
