Some gardening tips???
Hello to all
Here are a few tips on gardening and plant ca 1) Lawn ca * While going for a grass lawn, choose between cool season grasses and warm season grasses * Also choose for type of usage of grass. For example rye grass needs frequent watering while Zoysia grass survives tough climates. Plants: 2) Temperatu * Plants that are grown in temperatures lower than those recommended for them suffer. Look for leaves around the outside – they would be the first to suffer. * A combination of high temperature, low humidity and dry compost causes plants to wilt rapidly and foliage to shrivel. 3) Watering: * Water is vital for plants growth. Plants absorb water through their roots and release it into the atmosphere through their leaves. * Tapping a side of a clay pot is one way to judge if compost inside is dry. A ringing note indicates that it needs water and a dull note indicates that no water is needed. * Wilting of plant indicates too much and too little water. Plants seldom recover when water is not given. Healthy leaves and stem indicates sufficient water. 4) Grooming and ca: * Flowers must be removed as soon as they start to fade. Remove flower stalks together with flower. Else they encourage diseases. * Dust and dirt are enemies of leaves. Large leaves can be cleaned wih soft, damp cloth. * To trim shoots, use sharp scissors severing them just above leaf joint. Tips of young foliage plants can be nipped off to encourage development of side shoots Thanks |
