Mulch helps plants a lot, when you spread mulch around the plant leaving one to two inches away from main stem or trunk it protect the roots just on the surface of the ground from the weather either freezing or hot.
Mulch helps also by keeping the top area around the plants from drying out too fast, this is especially helpful if you grow ferns or moisture loving plants. You can use bark pieces (tiny or bigger chunks) leaves, sawdust/wood shavings.
