1. Help Your Landscape Recover From Summer Stress

Arizona summers can be tough on plants. Extreme heat, intense sun, dry conditions, and fluctuating irrigation can all put stress on your landscape.

Proper nutrition can help plants maintain healthy growth and develop stronger roots. Super Feed by Vital Gro is designed to provide essential nutrients for trees and plants, supporting root development, nutrient absorption, and overall plant vitality.

Whether you’re caring for palms, citrus, ornamental trees, or other landscape plants, September is a great time to evaluate how your plants handled the summer and give them the support they need.

2. Don’t Forget Your Citrus Trees

Arizona is famous for its citrus, and September is an important month for citrus care.

The University of Arizona recommends a third citrus feeding for lemons and limes in September if it wasn’t already completed in August. A consistent feeding program can help keep citrus trees healthy and productive. September is also a good time to inspect your trees for signs of stress, damaged fruit, pests, or inconsistent watering.

3. Give Your Palms Some Attention

Palm trees are a major part of the Arizona landscape, but they still need proper nutrition to maintain healthy growth.

If your palms are showing signs of nutrient deficiency or summer stress, September can be a good opportunity to evaluate their condition and establish a feeding routine.

Super Feed offers products specifically designed for different types of palms, making it easier to provide targeted nutrition based on the needs of your landscape.

4. Adjust Your Watering as Temperatures Change

As September progresses, temperatures will gradually begin to fall. That means your irrigation needs may eventually change as well.

However, don’t make dramatic changes too quickly. The University of Arizona recommends adjusting irrigation based on rainfall while maintaining summer watering schedules until temperatures drop. Pay attention to your soil, plants, and irrigation system rather than relying solely on a calendar.

5. Start Preparing for Fall

September is also about getting ahead.

For homeowners with Bermuda grass, fall is approaching quickly. In the Phoenix area, winter ryegrass overseeding generally takes place in October, when temperatures are cooler. That makes September a great time to start planning your fall lawn strategy and evaluating the condition of your landscape.
