This week on Plant Doctor with Mike Meier, we delve into the effects of a persistent drought on our gardens and lawns. Mike unravels the complexities of moisture content in soil and offers practical advice for nurturing our green spaces despite the dry spell. He also tackles a listener's concern about a wilting money tree, providing a diagnosis and care instructions to revive the stressed plant.

In the second half, Mike sheds light on the ease of growing succulents and cacti, perfect for those self-proclaimed 'black thumbs' out there. He shares vital tips on watering, sunlight exposure, and handling mealybug infestations. Plus, discover how to propagate herbs like basil and oregano from fresh cuttings or seeds, and learn about the low-maintenance peace lily and its suitability for indoor environments.
