How to protect plants from the wind

Potted plants

When you live in an area where the winds blow strongly at some time of the year, or if we have plants in a very exposed corner, we will have to protect them in some way, since otherwise their leaves and / or branches would be damaged.

Young plants and exotic plants will need special protection if they are grown in regions where the climate does not favor them. For this reason, it is very important to protect them, either inside the house, with plastic or by introducing them inside a greenhouse.

We put one in each corner, and then we join them with a rope or wire that goes from one tutor to another.

Thus, the plants are sure to reach the spring safely.
