🌧️ 5 Monsoon Golden Rules
- Move all succulents and cacti indoors before first rain — root rot kills in 48 hours
- Never water on rainy days. Check soil 24h after rain before watering manually
- Apply neem oil spray (5ml/L) every 10 days — prevents 80% of monsoon fungal issues
- Check every pot drainage hole is clear. Blocked holes = waterlogged soil = dead plant
- Stop fertilizing June–September. Resume in October when growth picks up again
