Climate at a Glance: 4 clearly defined seasons. Winter (Oct–Feb) is outstanding for flowers and vegetables. Summer (Apr–Jun) is extreme — only succulents thrive outdoors. Monsoon (Jul–Sep) is moderate compared to coastal India.
🌿 5 Tips for North India Gardeners
- October is the most critical sowing month — plant tomatoes, marigolds, and herbs now
- Succulents (aloe, jade, cactus) thrive in Rajasthan's dry heat — ideal for low-maintenance balconies
- In Delhi and Punjab: cover frost-sensitive plants (basil, hibiscus) on cold January nights
- Move ALL succulents indoors July–September during monsoon — even moderate monsoon is enough to cause rot
- Water before 8am in summer. Evening watering in summer invites fungal growth
