Default Re: stumped

I paint some of my pots white to help reduce pots getting too hot. I read of a citrus hobbyist once who painted only the side of his pots which faced the sun in the afternoon. I have the same problem with some in-ground plants also and keep thinking I need to add a thick layer of mulch to help keep the soil cooler.

Good luck!
