It does not matter if you have some simple plants or take care of hydrangeas: all plants need to be taken care of. Especially when it comes to warm and dry summer months, it is of essence to keep your plant hydrated and healthy. What if you do not have green fingers? No worries! Without green fingers, you can also treat plants like they should be. Let’s dive into some tips that will make your gardening life easier.
Start with having the basics rights
We have to start with the basics of gardening. This has everything to do with how you are treating your plants when they arrive in your garden. Do you want to keep the plant in a pot? Make sure you select the correct pot. For example, it helps if you have a pot with a hole in the bottom. The hole can help to remove the excess water, ensuring that the plant does not get too much of it.
When the plant grows, the pot grows
Roots need to have enough space to grow. Once the pot becomes too small, the plant will die eventually. Therefore, you need to anticipate this and make sure that the plant has the correct pot.
Potting soil for your plants
Another crucial component (both inside and outside a pot) is the soil. With good potting soil from a garden center, you are more likely to have a healthier and better plant than when using soil from your backyard. This is a simple tip that can make all the difference for your plants.
Plants and the sun
Some plants thrive in sunlight, while others desire a healthy balance between shadow and sun. Make sure you select the right place for your plants based on their type. If you are not sure, you can keep them in a pot and move them around. Once you notice where they thrive best, you can keep them at that location. When you buy the plant, they often come with instructions that indicate what kind of environment they grow best. Do start with those tips!
It’s all in the book
Knowledge is king, and this also holds for plants. Want to take care of a specific type of plant? Better read about it! Luckily there are lots of sources on the Internet that focus on specific types of plants. Next to that, you can watch YouTube videos concerning the plants that teach you how to grow them. With a little education, you can grow the most difficult plants with ease.
Be careful with animals
Rabbits do love certain types of plants. Therefore, having a fenced garden can make all the difference. If it is not possible to have a fence, you can consider hanging plants onto the walls. Plants that are less attractive to animals such as rabbits can easily be kept outside. Otherwise, it would be a wise decision to move them indoors using a pot.
