Climate Adaptation Tips
Hot Climates
Provide afternoon shade. Mulch heavily. Water deeply but infrequently. Choose heat-tolerant cultivars.
Cold Climates
Grow in containers, bring indoors for winter. Plant against south-facing walls. Use frost cloth for protection.
Wet Climates
Ensure excellent drainage. Use raised beds. Choose disease-resistant varieties. Prune for air circulation.
Dry Climates
Drip irrigation essential. Mulch 10 cm deep. Mist in evenings. Choose drought-tolerant species.
