Choose water-loving perennials like irises and astilbes. Improve soil drainage with raised beds or organic matter. Mulch to retain moisture and prevent waterlogging.
Plant in elevated areas to avoid water accumulation. Consider installing a rain garden to redirect excess water. Select plants with good tolerance to wet conditions.
Prune regularly to improve air circulation and prevent fungal diseases. Divide overcrowded plants to reduce competition for water. Use porous pots for container gardening.
Monitor soil moisture levels regularly. Avoid overwatering by allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Use a rain gauge to track rainfall amounts.
Provide adequate sunlight for plants to thrive. Trim back overhanging branches to increase light exposure. Consider using a soaker hose for targeted watering.
Incorporate water-absorbing polymers into the soil. Use raised planters for better drainage. Check for signs of root rot and adjust watering practices accordingly.
