Local conditions
Planning for Pune's climate
Fig. 01Climate and soil
Pune has a mild climate for most of the year, a monsoon from June to September and a dry, hot spell from March to May. Most tropical indoor plants and lawns do well if they are watered deeply through the summer.
Fig. 02When to plant and how to care
Plant new gardens and trees at the start of the monsoon in June and July. Winter flowers go in from October. From March to May, increase watering and shade young plants on terraces.
Drip and Automatic Watering · Pune
Watering the eight dry months
Pune gets most of its roughly 822 millimetres of annual rain in the four months from June to September, which means a garden here goes without significant natural rain for the other eight months, including the hottest stretch from March to May. A timer-controlled drip system is less about the monsoon, when Pune's gardens get more water than they need, and more about keeping plants alive through the long dry season that follows it.
From October through May, a Pune garden depends entirely on manual or automated watering, and the driest, hottest weeks before the monsoon breaks are when a missed manual watering does the most damage, which is exactly when homeowners are most likely to be travelling or too busy to water by hand.
A drip system on a timer removes that risk, delivering a set amount of water to each plant on a fixed schedule regardless of whether anyone is home to do it.
Adjusting for the monsoon, not switching it off
Rather than turning the system off completely through the monsoon, we usually reduce the schedule and let it resume automatically once the rains ease, since an unattended system left on a dry-season schedule through the monsoon can overwater a garden that is already getting enough rain.
Sizing the system to the space
A terrace garden, a set of balcony planters and an in-ground society lawn in Pune each need a different drip layout, since the flow rate, spacing and timer settings that suit potted plants would either starve or drown an open lawn bed if applied unchanged.
We size the system to the specific plants and containers on site rather than installing a single standard kit everywhere, which is also why an existing drip system installed for one layout usually needs adjustment if the planting changes significantly later.
We also account for water pressure, since a system drawing from an overhead tank behaves differently from one connected to a direct municipal line.

Questions
Frequently asked
Can the drip system be adjusted automatically as Pune moves from monsoon to the dry season?
The schedule can be set to change on set dates through the year, and we recommend a manual check at the start and end of the monsoon to confirm it matches that year's rainfall.
Does the system work for both terrace planters and an in-ground garden?
Yes, drip lines are designed separately for planters and in-ground beds, since planters dry out faster and need more frequent, shorter watering cycles.
If we add more plants later, does the drip system need to be redone?
Often just extended or rebalanced rather than redone completely, depending on how much the layout changes. We assess this on a visit before quoting any changes.
Does the drip system need electricity, or can it run on a battery timer?
Battery-operated timers are commonly used and work well for most home installations, avoiding the need for a nearby power socket on an open terrace or balcony.
Do you provide drip and automatic watering across Pune?
Yes. We work across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, including Hinjewadi, Kharadi, Viman Nagar, Baner, Wakad and Magarpatta.
What does drip and automatic watering cost in Pune?
Drip and Automatic Watering in Pune starts from ₹4,500 per home kit, installed. The final price depends on the size of the space and what is included, and you receive it as a fixed price in a written proposal.
Do you have an office in Pune?
Yes. Garden & Acre has an office in Pune, and our Pune team handles installation and maintenance across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Does drip irrigation work without an overhead tank?
Yes, with a small pump and a pressure-compensating system.
Can an automatic plant watering system work on a balcony with no tap?
Yes. A small pump draws from a tank or bucket on the balcony and a timer switches it on and off, so the plants are watered on schedule without a tap.
Can it be controlled from a phone?
Yes, with a Wi-Fi controller. Timer-only systems are also available for homes that want to set it once and leave it.
