It depends on the plant, its size and its age. Herbs, small succulents and starter plants start at around AED 20. Fruit plants, flowering shrubs and larger indoor plants usually run from about AED 50 to a few hundred dirhams. Mature trees can cost more than AED 1,000. Every product page shows the live price for each size.

Vegetable and flower seed packets start from a few dirhams. Potting soil, fertiliser and soil improvers are priced by weight or volume. Check the product page for the current price of each pack size.

Size (height in cm), pot size, age and how long the plant took to grow all affect price. A 30 cm plant and a 150 cm plant of the same variety are very different products.

Photograph the whole plant, a close-up of the leaves (front and back), any flowers or fruit, and the bark. Then use a plant ID app such as Google Lens, Pl@ntNet or iNaturalist and compare the result with a reliable source. Note leaf arrangement, flower colour and any milky sap, because these narrow it down quickly. Never taste an unknown plant: some common garden plants, such as oleander, are toxic.

It is Mimosa pudica, also called touch-me-not or sensitive plant. Its leaflets fold shut when touched and reopen after a few minutes. You can buy Touch Me Not (Mimosa pudica) from us.

Send the photos to us through the Contact page. Clear daylight photos of leaves, flowers and the overall shape give the best chance of a quick answer.

Yes. The main growing season is roughly October to April, when most vegetables and herbs do well outdoors. In summer, stick to heat-tolerant crops such as okra, brinjal, chilli, moringa and curry leaf, use shade cloth and water early in the morning. Improve sandy soil with compost and mulch to hold moisture.

Give plants afternoon shade, water deeply early in the morning rather than little and often, mulch the soil and choose heat-tolerant varieties. Move delicate potted plants out of direct afternoon sun.

About 5 to 7 cm of organic mulch around plants, kept a few centimetres away from stems and trunks. Apply it after planting and again in early spring, before the summer heat arrives.

There is no single schedule. Check the soil with a finger: if the top 2 to 3 cm is dry, most plants need water. Potted plants and young plants dry out faster in UAE heat than established garden plants.

Pumpkin does best when sown in the cooler months, from about October to February. Mint grows well through the cool season and appreciates shade in summer. Moringa is a heat-lover and can be planted most of the year once temperatures are above about 20 degrees C. Our pumpkin seeds are available online.

We sell urea fertiliser, Epsom salt, magnesium sulphate and vermicompost. Browse more in our plant food collection.

Epsom salt is magnesium sulphate. It helps plants that are short of magnesium (yellowing between the veins of older leaves) but it is not a general fertiliser, so use it only when it is needed.

We stock Holland Torf potting soil, a peat-based growing medium suited to pots and containers.

We carry decorative garden stones and gravel, for example grey gravel stone. Check the product page for the available sizes and colours.

No. Souq Garden (souqgarden.com) is an independent UAE plant and garden store. We are not Souq.com or Amazon.ae, so we can't help with orders placed on those sites.
