Water is essential for plant growth, but overwatering can lead to problems. Water deeply and less frequently, allowing the soil to dry out between watering. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Tip 6. Fertilize Regularly

Provide your plants with the nutrients they need to thrive. Fertilize regularly according to the specific needs of your plants. Use organic fertilizers whenever possible, as they release nutrients slowly over time.
