Answer 1

Mirical grow and trimming. Dont over water though. Just trim overything back some and buy some mirical grow all purpose.

Answer 2

Here in Texas we are in the middle of a drought. I have several gardens so listen to me. If you are watering fast or from the end of a hose you are only compacting the soil and making your plants have shallow roots that will be fried by the heat.Try a soaker hose or trickle irrigation. Also, try using a garden rake thing-handheld-to loosen the soil around the plant so it can get the water. If your soil tends to compact at the surface, these are things you have to do so the plants can get water. I have to water twice a day right now because the temp has been over a hundred for thirty days in a row.
Another great thing is mulch. Water and then mulch at least two inches thick. The mulch will help the soil retain the water. Use shredded cypress or cedar. Pine when it breaks down releases a toxin that kills plants. Chipped barks just look pretty. Shredded will decompose and help the soil. Add a little sugar or molasses to your spray bottle sometimes and that will feed the microorganisms in your soil to help it improve.

So many factors come into play, it's hard to answer your question without knowing more info. First what is the light level? Second, what are the plants? Third, what has been the temperature? Fourth, do they look like they are being attacked by bugs or disease? Fifth, are you not watering enough, are you watering too much? Sixth, have you over fertilized? Seventh, how do you know they are dying? Give us some more info and we'll give you some more ideas!

Answer 4

It depends on the individual kinds of plants you have. The best advice I can give you is tho have a friend with a green thumb come over and check your backyard out. See what is really there first before you take a blanket approach to solving the problem.

Answer 5

You need to find out what kinds they are. Different plants require different things. Some need a lot of light, some die in too much light, Some need a lot of water, some die if there is too much water. A good bet would be to inspect the plants for pests, they might be the culprit. Also try putting some plant food down, it might help.

Answer 6

Try fertilizing them, or maybe they're planted in a bad place (ex: low light plants planted in an area that gets alot of sun) plus the hot weather is doing a number on plants anyway.

Answer 7

Check to see if they're plants that grow well in your area. Be sure to read the plant care instructions carefully. Different plants have different watering/sun needs.

Here's the Sunset Magazine site that can tell you about your growing zone (also a good site for plant care):

Answer 8

Try reading up on some of the plant treatments you can use. Plants are like people, they need sun, oxegyn, caring for, vitamins, etc...If reading about plants doesn't help speak to a horticulturalist.

Answer 9

Where do you live? What kind of soil do you have? What kinds of plants are you trying to grow? You should try to grow only the types of plants that like the type of soil and the kind of climate you have in your garden. Then you'll be fine.
