Pest-resistant gardening focuses on choosing plants naturally less attractive to insects and diseases, reducing the need for chemical treatments. Maintaining healthy soil, proper spacing, and good air circulation helps plants stay strong and less vulnerable to pests. Companion planting, like pairing pest-repelling herbs with vegetables, can also keep unwanted insects away naturally.

For pest-resistant plants, water at the base of the plant to keep leaves dry and reduce disease risk. Add mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds that can harbor pests. Regularly remove dead or damaged foliage to keep plants healthy and thriving. Inspect plants often for any early signs of pests or disease to act quickly if needed.
