Dubai’s climate is hot and arid, so choosing plants that can withstand high temperatures and dry conditions is essential. However, Dubai also has a growing interest in indoor plants and landscaping, with many plants thriving in controlled environments.
Caring for Plants in Dubai:
- Watering: During the hot months (April–September), plants will need more water, especially outdoor plants. Indoor plants generally require less frequent watering.
- Sunlight: Many outdoor plants will thrive in full sun, while indoor plants may require indirect sunlight.
- Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial, especially for desert plants and succulents.
- Humidity: While Dubai is dry, air-conditioned spaces can be quite humid. Indoor plants like ferns and orchids may require additional humidity, especially in the winter months.
