With imminent heatwaves threatening backyards across the US and UK, it's important for gardeners to put some preparation in place to ensure garden plants stay hydrated. But sometimes it's impossible to prevent all drooping and wilting from such extreme heat. The good news, however, is we've discovered a hack just in time that will rejuvenate your plants quickly post-heatwave. All you need is coconut sugar.
There are a few things you can do to protect plants in a heatwave, but your efforts can sometimes only go so far. For this reason, it's a good idea to deeply water your plants with coconut sugar water once temperatures have cooled down again. It essentially supports the microbes working in the soil to aid plant roots in taking up moisture and rehydrating – much like using sugar water for plants.
