Discoloration and spotting, rapid mortality of stems or twigs, and fragile, watery plant tissue are typical signs of illness. <\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>Because plant values are high and some plant problems, particularly those that affect trees and shrubs, are incurable, preventative measures are essential. Fortunately, proper gardening techniques can help keep diseases out of your fruit and landscape trees as well as your vegetable and flower gardens. You&#8217;ll notice that many of these methods focus on keeping plant foliage dry because the majority of diseases cannot spread if there is any moisture present.<\/p><p>Check on your plants often. If you discover a major outbreak early on, your chances of preventing it are higher. When working among your landscaping and garden plants, keep an eye out for insects, stem and leaf wounds, damaged leaves, wilting, leaf spots, and off-color foliage.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-195a04ee subhead-txt e-flex e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"195a04ee\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f3c945 things-h elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3f3c945\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Making wise plant selections <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60bf151 header2-open-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"60bf151\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardening-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/assets\/blogs\/Garden+soil%2B+Plant+Problems+Webp\/p+selecting.webp\" title=\"\" alt=\"choosing right plants for garden\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-510816c1 know elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"510816c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick disease-resistant plant kinds while choosing plants for your garden.

As they apply water directly to the soil, soaker hoses and drip irrigation are preferable to sprinklers. The sun will evaporate any water left on the leaves if you must water with sprinklers, so early morning is more suitable. Avoid watering in the evening since the foliage will remain damp all night, which will allow fungus spores to develop and infect plants.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with moist plants should be avoided since illnesses can spread quickly through wet foliage.

Particularly vulnerable plants include beans, strawberries, raspberries, and other berries.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mulching is an additional method of preventing plant problems and maintaining plant health. Your garden&#8217;s plants and shrubs are protected from weeds by a thick covering of organic mulch. Additionally, it aids in preserving stable soil moisture and temperature, which maintains plant roots strong and better equipped to fend against disease. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When mulch stops muddy water from splashing onto leaves, illnesses like black spots on roses that are water- and soil-borne have a difficult time infecting plants.
