After a long Berlin downpour, your garden can look both refreshed and overwhelmed. Puddles form, soil feels heavy, and plants may droop. Knowing how to respond quickly — and using the Berlin hourly weather — can help your garden recover fast and stay healthy through every season.
Heavy rain can compact soil, pushing out oxygen and drowning roots. Wait until the ground is slightly dry, then gently loosen the top layer using a hand fork. This helps air and nutrients reach the roots again.
Tip: Check checkwetter.de for rain forecasts. The Berlin hourly weather shows when the next dry period begins — the best time to work the soil without causing damage.
After storms, some areas of Berlin — especially gardens in low spots — can flood temporarily. Standing water suffocates roots and attracts pests. Use a broom or small channels to guide excess water away from delicate plants.
Rain can weigh down leaves and stems, especially for flowers like dahlias or sunflowers. Gently shake off excess water, tie heavy plants to stakes, and trim any broken branches to prevent disease.
Heavy rain often washes nutrients out of garden soil. After 2–3 dry days, add compost or natural fertilizer to restore balance. For potted plants, consider replacing the top soil layer.
Q: How soon can I garden after heavy rain?
A: Wait until the soil is moist but not soggy. The Berlin hourly weather helps you time it perfectly.
Q: Why do my plants look droopy after rain?
A: Roots can’t get enough oxygen when soil is compacted. Gently loosen the soil after it dries a little.
Q: Should I fertilize right after rain?
A: Wait 2–3 days — too much moisture can wash nutrients away again.
Rain is a gift for every garden — but care afterward makes the difference between thriving and struggling plants. With a little patience and the Berlin hourly weather by your side, your garden can turn every downpour into new growth and beauty.
