Start lesser

Start Slow

There are millions of varieties of plants that you can grow in your garden but as you start do not overdo them with the number of plants you grow. Start small and gradually start increasing. As a beginner, you might not know how every plant behaves and what it requires for faster growth. You should also remember that not all plants have the same traits and they differ drastically. So always make sure that you start small with limited plants.

Choose the right plants

Choose the one that suits you

The place where you live, the climate, space for your garden, sunlight, etc determines the health of your plants. So choose the right plants which suit you. Not all plants are meant to be outdoor and vice versa for the indoor plants too. So primarily decide whether to opt for indoor or outdoor plants and then start your gardening.

 Learn how to care

Caring for plants

Taking care of the plants is not so easy as you may think but still, overall it’s a fun-filled experience. There are so many sources available for you to master the art of gardening. Start from learning how to plant them, water them, which fertilizers to use? and things like that. It takes pretty much time but worth it all.

Follow the sunlight

Sunlight

Sunlight plays a vital role in gardening. As most varieties of plants highly depend on sunlight for their living, it is your foremost duty to follow the sun and make sure that your plants get adequate sunlight. Have an eye on how humid the weather is and change the locations of your indoor plants accordingly. If it is an outdoor plant then you must be cautious while selecting the location of your plant itself.

Base must be strong

Stronger base for plants

Your plant’s base must be sturdy. The type of soil that you put in your plant must be of good quality and must contain all the essential nutrients that add to your plant’s growth. The most commonly used natural soil is red soil and in addition that Coco Peat can be added. This mixture contributes vital nutritional supplements. In the case of indoor plants, the pots that you choose must suit the plant type as plants do not remain the same size as they grow. If it is an outdoor plant, then you must check for the soil type and the depth of the pit that you are digging so to provide enough space for the plant’s roots to grow and breathe.

Know the seasons

Be keen with the seasons

Not all plants grow well in all seasons. Planting apple trees in humid areas are of no use. Similarly, you must plant your saplings during the favorable season. Wrong timings of planting can be a spoiler and this may even lead to a lack of interest in the entire gardening process.

 Be gentle

Being soft to plants

Being gentle to your plants can smoothen their growing phases. Every time you water them do not splash water directly to their roots or the whole plant. Be soft and just sprinkle enough water on top of plants and to the roots. Or you can design a watering system if you have a huge garden. Also while picking flowers, greens, or harvesting your plants not be so rude. Instead, use the specially designed cutters for plants for dealing with your plants. These tiny acts of kindness can endorse more to the overall wellness of your plants.

Add more natural nutrients

Adding the essential natural nutriments

Instead of feeding your plants with artificial fertilizers try nourishing them with natural manures. There are plenty of natural manures available. Some of them are cow dung, vegetable and fruit peels, tea dust, and all types of kitchen waste that can act as extraordinary manure to your plants. This also helps your plants to grow healthier and quicker. While growing certain varieties of plants there are many chances of being infected by pests. If you notice the same in your plants, don’t immediately rush out to the nearest fertilizer store and grab on some artificially compounded and chemical fertilizers. Pesticides can also be prepared by yourself with the ingredients you have at home. Certain ingredients such as neem oil, salt spray, onion and garlic spray, Eucalyptus oil, and so many other components can be mixed and used as natural pesticides and insecticides.

Feed your plants regularly

Regular feeding of plants

Plants do need some additional nutrients apart from those they get from the sun and other natural factors. Already we’ve discussed the soil types and their quality. In the same way, goes the additional nutrients that you must provide your plants. There are many varieties of natural plant food like Miracle-Gro are available in the market, also you can make your plant food with the naturally available ingredients in your kitchen or even with the kitchen waste.

Do not stop in-between

Don’t stop gardening
