Help Containers Survive Summer Heat

16K views on YouTube

Container gardening in the summer can be tricky—especially here in Arizona. Small pots dry out quickly, and plants show heat stress almost immediately.

Ideally, store smaller containers until fall—but if you’re growing in containers, GreenStalks, or elevated beds right now, these tips can help:

Move them out of direct afternoon sun

Group containers together to help retain moisture

Use ollas to simplify watering

Water deeply—every day if needed (containers dry fast!)
