# Help! How do you all protect your potted plants from the heavy rains…

Help! How do you all protect your potted plants from the heavy rains of the summer thunderstorms? I don’t have any covered areas outside around my house at all (just plenty of shade from trees). The severity of the rain nearly damages the smallest ones and I’m afraid I’m killing them with overwater!

You can get bird netting and it helps diffuse the heavy rain from smashing your plants :) as for over watering, that ones a bit harder. I always make sure I’m tilting my pots to remove excess water. Maybe that’ll help?

Just bought some bird netting on Amazon, thanks!

Put the in the house

It’s difficult to do so every time  
It rains when a lot of them thrive in that high humidity otherwise

Swap to Grow Bags, they will help release the water much better, and the bird netting that was suggested is a great idea!
