June 2025 Garden Tips – Your Quick Guide to the Month's Best Articles

June was packed with practical advice for every kind of gardener in India. Whether you tend a balcony full of houseplants or a backyard vegetable patch, we covered the basics you need right now.

Top Plant Picks for Home and Garden

We started the month with a roundup of the best houseplants for beginners and seasoned growers. The list includes air‑purifying snake plants, low‑light pothos, and colorful peace lilies – all easy to care for and perfect for Indian homes.

For outdoor spaces, we highlighted low‑maintenance potted plants that thrive on patios and terraces. Think hardy geraniums, dwarf hibiscus, and drought‑tolerant succulents that need little watering and still look great.

We also dove into a fun question: Are carrots native to India? The answer uncovers a surprising history, showing how the orange root traveled and adapted to Indian soils.

Soil & Watering Essentials

If your garden soil feels hard or compacted, our step‑by‑step guide shows how to loosen it with simple tools, organic matter, and a bit of patience. We also shared fast‑acting tricks to refresh tired soil, from adding compost tea to spreading coffee grounds.

Understanding what NOT to put in your compost can save you from bad smells and pests. We listed the common kitchen scraps and garden waste that belong in the bin, not the pile.

Watering got a spotlight too. Two articles compared drip‑irrigation systems, explaining which type really cuts water bills and how long a system lasts with proper upkeep. We even answered the dreaded “Can I mow over drip lines?” question so you can keep your lawn neat without breaking the pipes.

Natural pest control featured heavily. We tested apple cider vinegar as an insecticide, broke down its effectiveness, and gave easy recipes for a garden‑safe spray. Later, we revealed the number‑one natural insect repellent that beats chemicals – a simple essential oil blend you probably already have.Finally, we tackled indoor air myths, debunking the claim that all houseplants clean the air. You’ll now know which plants actually help and how to keep them healthy.
