Daytime temperatures sit between 25°C and 35°C, and humidity remains moderate. This is the right time to repot, prune, and start a regular feeding schedule using a balanced fertiliser from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-food\"\u003eplant food and fertiliser range\u003c\/a\u003e. Move container plants from sheltered winter spots into morning sunlight, and water deeply two to three times a week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSummer (June to September)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummer in the UAE pushes temperatures above 45°C, and direct afternoon sun can scorch leaves within hours. Shift your Coleus Seeds to filtered light, increase watering frequency (early morning and after sunset), and consider 50% shade netting on rooftop and balcony gardens in Dubai Marina, Al Reem Island, and Al Nahda. Mulch heavily to slow evaporation, and avoid heavy pruning until temperatures drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutumn (October to November)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutumn brings relief and a second growth flush. Resume monthly feeding, refresh topsoil, and inspect for pests that built up during summer. This is the best window to introduce new plants from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plant-seeds\"\u003eplant seeds collection\u003c\/a\u003e because cooler nights help roots establish quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinter (December to February)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUAE winters are mild (15°C to 25°C) but dew, fog, and occasional rain affect Sharjah, Al Ain, and the Hajar Mountain foothills more than coastal Dubai. Reduce watering by roughly 40%, pause fertilising for tropical varieties, and move sensitive species closer to walls that radiate stored daytime warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGermination Tips for UAE Growers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeeds sown in the UAE perform best when nighttime temperatures stay between 18°C and 28°C, which usually means the October-to-March planting window. For Coleus Seeds, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for six to eight hours before sowing to break dormancy. Use a light seed-starting mix (coco peat blended with perlite at a 3:1 ratio) and sow at a depth roughly twice the seed's diameter. Cover the tray with cling film or a humidity dome to maintain 70% relative humidity until the first shoots appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace trays in a bright, shaded spot on a Dubai balcony or Sharjah windowsill that receives indirect light. Avoid direct UAE sun on freshly sown trays — surface temperatures climb above 50°C and will cook the seeds. Bottom-water with a saucer to prevent dislodging the seeds, and switch to a half-strength liquid feed from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plants-food\"\u003efertiliser collection\u003c\/a\u003e once true leaves develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTransplanting and Hardening Off\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings reach 8-10 cm with at least four true leaves, harden them off by moving the tray outdoors for two hours daily, increasing exposure over a week. Transplant into the larger containers from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pots\"\u003epots and planters range\u003c\/a\u003e, using a UAE-friendly potting mix enriched with compost.

Allow the top 3-5 cm of soil to dry between waterings, and flush containers monthly with a deep slow watering to wash out accumulated salts. Yellowing during winter usually indicates cold draft exposure or dormancy — normal and recoverable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBrown Leaf Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrispy brown tips point to low humidity, common in air-conditioned UAE homes during summer. Group plants together, use a pebble tray, or mist foliage with filtered water twice weekly.

For Tagete  Mix Seeds, soak the seeds in lukewarm water for six to eight hours before sowing to break dormancy. Use a light seed-starting mix (coco peat blended with perlite at a 3:1 ratio) and sow at a depth roughly twice the seed's diameter. Cover the tray with cling film or a humidity dome to maintain 70% relative humidity until the first shoots appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace trays in a bright, shaded spot on a Dubai balcony or Sharjah windowsill that receives indirect light.
