Neville shares simple autumn gardening tips to help plants recover from summer and thrive through the cooler months.

• As temperatures cool and plant growth slows, reduce watering where appropriate and keep an eye on indoor plants and shaded areas that may stay wetter for longer.
• Light levels naturally decrease in autumn, so move indoor plants closer to bright windows and monitor variegated plants, which often need additional light to maintain healthy growth.
• Prune away dead, diseased or damaged growth to improve plant health, and remove spent summer vegetables to prepare garden beds for the next season.
• Improve indoor air quality by opening windows regularly to create airflow and reduce stale air, particularly in homes that remain closed during cooler weather.
• Strengthen plants before winter with a seaweed-based treatment such as Seasol, helping promote root development and resilience against seasonal stress.
• For potted plants, ensure excess water can drain away freely to prevent root problems and maintain healthy growing conditions.
• Seasol Plant Health and Soil Improver Granules provide an easy, no-mess way to support soil health, improve moisture retention and deliver year-round plant benefits.
