Gardening in Dubai comes with unique challenges — from extreme heat and strong sun to sandy soil and water scarcity. But with the right care and planning, your garden can thrive beautifully all year round. Here are 5 essential tips to help you maintain a healthy, green outdoor space in Dubai’s climate:
1. Choose Heat-Tolerant Plants
Opt for native or drought-resistant plants like Bougainvillea, Desert Rose, Date Palm, or Aloe Vera. These plants are adapted to the local climate and require less water.
2. Water Wisely
Early mornings or late evenings are the best times to water your garden, reducing evaporation loss. Use drip irrigation systems for efficient and targeted watering.
3. Improve Your Soil
Dubai’s soil can be sandy and nutrient-poor. Add organic compost or soil conditioners to improve texture and fertility, helping plants absorb nutrients better.
4. Mulching is a Must
Mulch helps retain soil moisture, reduces weed growth, and protects plant roots from extreme heat. Use organic mulch like bark, leaves, or straw.
5. Regular Maintenance
Routine trimming, weeding, and pest checks keep your garden looking great and prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
