For potted plants, every two weeks add liquid fertiliser to your regular watering to make sure that plants are getting the right amount of nutrients, as plants are also using a lot more of these in the hotter months.

Remember, light rainfall isn’t enough water for a plant. So even if there has been rain, you’ll need to make sure that plants haven’t dried out. Put one of your fingers down to the knuckle and if the soil is dry, then make sure to water.

For more on looking after your plants and gardens have a look at our full list of Gardening Tips.
