Deep Watering
Allowing water to penetrate deep into the soil when watering trees promotes strong root systems and conserves water. The Deep Drip Watering Stake makes deep watering easy. Simply insert into soil near perimeter of tree canopy and attach to hose or drip irrigation system. Deep Drip Watering Stakes are movable, so they can be used year-after-year as the tree grows.

Caring for Coleus
Coleus, with their dramatic colors and leaf shapes, are ideal for shade gardens and covered entryways where few other plants will bloom. India Frill, Sky Fire, Sun Jade, and Tabasco are a few of the bold, fancy-leaf Coleus' now available at Navlet's. To promote lush, compact growth, pinch back the tips periodically, and feed regularly with Osmocote. When winter comes, move them inside and enjoy as a beautiful houseplant.

Keep Camellias Blooming
While Camellias grab our attention when they are in bloom with their spectacular blossoms, it is critical to not neglect them in the summer. Regular watering from July through September is essential to ensure Camellias bloom the following season. Consider adding a layer of mulch around Camellias to retain soil moisture and shield roots from the heat of the day.

Improve Water Penetration
EZ Wet Soil Penetrant improves water penetration in the roots of containerized Japanese Maples, Citrus, Camellias, Roses, Hydrangeas, Gardenias and others. This product helps water to penetrate tight root balls instead of running out the sides and bottom of the container. EZ Wet is biodegradable and should be applied monthly from July through September.
