To protect plants from heavy rain, ensure proper drainage, use protective covers, and relocate potted plants to sheltered areas. Additionally, consider using stakes for taller plants to prevent them from toppling over.
Why these recommendations work in Indian homes
- Indian monsoons can bring heavy downpours, making drainage essential.
- Protective covers help shield plants from excess water and wind damage.
- Relocating potted plants prevents waterlogging and root rot.
- Staking provides stability to plants during strong winds and rain.
