FAQ
When to plant flowers
Planting flowers is best done during springtime when temperatures are milder and the soil is moist. If you live somewhere cold, planting flowers should be done before the first frost. The ideal temperature to grow plants indoors is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
How long can an indoor plant be kept alive?
Indoor plants can survive up to ten years. To promote new growth, it is essential to repot your indoor plants every few month. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.
How can I tell what kind of soil is mine?
The color of the soil can tell you how much organic matter it contains. You will find more organic matter in darker soils that those of lighter colors. Soil tests are another option. These tests assess the soil's nutritional content.
What is the minimum space required to grow vegetables?
It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. So if you have an area of 10 feet by 10 feet (3 meters by 3 meters), you'll need 100 pounds of seeds.

How To
How to apply foliar fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly on the leaves of plants via spraying. They provide nutrients for the plant as well as improving photosynthesis, water retention, disease resistance, protection against pests, and promote growth and development. They can be used on any plant, such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, trees and shrubs, grasses and lawns.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, how large it is, and the amount of foliage it has all affect the amount of fertilizer that is required. Foliar fertilizers work best when the plants are actively growing. This allows them more time to absorb nutrients. These steps will help you fertilize your garden.
-
Make sure you know what kind of fertilizer you need. Some products only have one nutrient while others contain multiple elements. Ask your local nursery or gardening center if you don't know which product you need.
-
Follow the directions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near doors and windows can cause damage. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
-
If possible, use the hose attachment. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
-
Mixing different types of foliar fertilisers can cause problems. Mixing two different types can have harmful effects, including burning or staining.
-
Spray the fertilizer at least five feet from any trunk. The trunk of the tree should be at least three feet from the edge of where you intend to apply fertilizer.
-
Wait until the sun is down before applying. The sun causes light-sensitive fertilizer chemicals to be broken down by sunlight.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. For large areas, spread the fertilizer with an even hand.
-
Allow the fertilizer to dry completely before watering.
