Plant and garden care after a storm comes through is important for many reasons here in Wellington Florida.
After all the rain and wind, take a look over your yard and garden. Trim the trees and bushes that have broken limbs. Pick up all the debris in your garden areas and plant areas because with all the rain, the debris can become moldy. The mold can spread to all your plants. Take precautions now and get rid of any loose plants and branches, leaves or clippings that may have settled in the wet areas tor prevent mold.
Take a walk around your property and look for pots or any containers that may have filled up with water during the storm. Empty out any small containers of storm water anywhere in your yard and garden. These areas and containers make great breeding grounds for mosquito larvae. If you get an infestation of mosquitoes consider all natural methods of getting rid of them. Read my post here about natural remedies for mosquitoes including Garlic Oil This was one of the first posts I wrote on Active Rain, you will see no images and no special bolding and certainly no html.
If you find any Palms that have bent over from the storm you can prop the Palms up with 2 by 4 pieces of lumber in a triangle area around the Palms.
Something I discovered the hard way is that after the storms I just assumed the plants would be alright with all the rain they get. But going unchecked, the next week the plants would look all dried out. I was so shocked because we had all this rain. What I discovered is that the plants can go from being over watered to drought looking within days after a storm. This is because the nutrients in the soil may have been washed away. You can find an organic fertilizer to use to get the nutrients back into the soil so your plants can survive and flourish.
