How to Care for Plants in Tashkent's Summer
Summer in Tashkent is a challenge for indoor plants. Outside temperatures rise above 40°C. Key rules:
- Water in the morning or evening — never during peak heat
- Move away from direct sun — even sun-loving plants can get burned through glass
- Mist the leaves — essential for most tropical plants in Tashkent's dry air
- Don't repot in summer — plants are already stressed from the heat
- Use water trays — water evaporates and humidifies the air around the plant
