FAQ
When should you plant herbs?
The ideal time to plant herbs is springtime, when the soil temperature is 55°F. To get the best results, they should be planted in full sun. To grow basil indoors, place seedlings in pots filled with potting mix and keep them out of direct sunlight until they sprout leaves. When plants are growing, place them in bright indirect lighting. After about three weeks, transplant them to individual containers and continue to water them regularly.
How do I determine the type of soil that I have?
You can tell by looking at the color of the dirt. Organic matter is more abundant in dark soils than those with lighter colors. Soil testing is another option. These tests can measure the soil's nutrients.
What is the maximum time I can keep an indoor plant alive for?
Indoor plants can survive up to ten years. To encourage new growth, it is important to repot your indoor plant every few months. Repotting is easy. All you have to do is remove the soil and put in fresh compost.
When can you plant flowers in your garden?
Planting flowers during springtime is best when temperatures are warm and the soil feels moist. Planting flowers should be done after the first frost if you live in a cold climate. The ideal temperature for indoor plants is around 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

How To
How to apply Foliar Fertilizers
Foliar fertilizers are applied directly to the leaves of plants through spraying. Foliar fertilizers provide nutrients to the plants, as well as promoting growth and protection from adverse weather conditions. They can be used for treating any plant, fruits, vegetables or flowers.
When applying foliar fertilizers, there is no risk of soil pollution. The type of plant, the size of the plant and how many leaves it has will determine how much fertilizer is needed. It's best to use foliar fertilizers when the plant is actively growing. This allows them faster to absorb the nutrients. When you're ready to fertilize your garden, follow these steps:
-
Be sure to determine the right type of fertilizer for you. Some products contain only one nutrient; others include multiple elements. If you're not sure which product is right for you, you can ask your local nursery.
-
Follow the directions carefully. Before spraying, read the label. Spraying near doors and windows can cause damage. Keep away from children and pets
-
If possible, attach a hose to the nozzle. To avoid overspray, turn off the nozzle after every few sprays.
-
Be careful when mixing different types of foliar fertilizers. Mixing two types of fertilizers can lead to harmful side effects such as leaf burning and staining.
-
Spray at least five to six feet from the trunk. A minimum of three feet should be left between the tree trunks and the edge of your area where you plan for fertilizer application.
-
Before applying, wait until the sun sets before you do. Sunlight causes light-sensitive chemicals in the fertilizer to break down.
-
Spread the fertilizer evenly on the leaves. Spread the fertilizer evenly over large areas.
-
Let the fertilizer air dry before watering.
