Five plants to assess carefully before Dubai summer
Some UAE-grown ornamentals tolerate heat better than others, but summer success still depends on shade, establishment, soil, water, and exposure.
From balcony to kitchen: growing herbs in the right window
Basil, mint, rosemary, and parsley need different UAE balcony windows; many herbs do best in cooler months or protected morning-light positions.
Why mulch is your rooftop's best friend
Mulch can reduce surface drying and root-zone heat when its depth and material fit the planting. On Dubai rooftops, drainage and wind exposure matter as much as coverage.
