How to improve drought stressed plants!

1 - Cut Back - Reduce the size of your plants, and reduce the amount of water needed. Pruning also stimulates growth.

2 - Water Wisely - Soils that have become dry tend to repel water. Create a large ditch (or moat) around the plant and fill it 2-3 times (let it seep through each time). Use a Wetting Agent to further enhance water to reach the root ball and get water back into your plants.

3. Mulch - By mulching the ground around your plants it will help conserve water and therefore give your plants improved growth. Make sure the water can still penetrate.
