dry leaves
Spreading dry leaves on top of the soil creates a natural mulch. This prevents the strong heat of the sun from reaching the soil directly, due to which the water does not dry up quickly. Besides, these leaves rot slowly and act as fertilizer and nourish the soil.

coconut husk
Coconut husk absorbs water and stores it inside itself for a long time. When you place it on top of the soil, it slowly releases moisture. Due to this, the plants continuously get light moisture and the need for frequent watering is reduced.
