Introduction

As a former city dweller, I can’t help but feel smugly superior to my suburban neighbors when it comes to plants. They all have gorgeous gardens and lush, green lawns (some of which are even real grass), whereas I, on the other hand, have an ornamental weeping willow. But even my willow tree is more than enough for me; thanks to the wonders of hydroponics and fluorescent lighting, I never have to worry about watering or sun exposure again. That said, I know that not everyone—even those of us who love our concrete-covered cities—can get away with these alternative solutions. So if you want real plants in your home – whether they’re window boxes or hanging plants – here are some helpful hints:

1. Don’t forget the water!

• Don’t forget the water!

Plants require water to survive and thrive, so it’s important to remember to give them a good drink every now and then. But how much do they need? Well, it all depends on their type. Some plants, like succulents and cacti, can go weeks without any irrigation at all (though even these guys need some moisture every week or two). Other plants are not so lucky; they’ll dry out in only three days if neglected for too long! So before you get started with your garden project, take some time to research what kind of plants you want to grow—and whether those flowers will appreciate a little extra TLC from their owner.

2. Pay attention to the soil!

Soil is a crucial component of any successful garden. You have to make sure you’re keeping your soil moist, but not saturated, and loose, not compacted. Organic matter should always be added back into the mix as well—it makes for a richer environment for plants to grow in!

3. Think about where you’re planting!

• Think about where you’re planting!

Think about the sun

Consider the soil type and texture, drainage, fertility and pH of the soil that you are planting in. Some plants need lots of water while others don’t like their feet wet at all. Think about where your pots are going to be located because different locations get different amounts of sunlight throughout the day depending on how tall they are etc., so make sure to plant things with similar light requirements together.

These tips will help your gardening experience be more successful and enjoyable.

So, you want to get into gardening?

Have you started a new flower planter and can’t wait for the results?

No need to wait! Here are three things you need to do. These tips will help your gardening experience be more successful and enjoyable:

• Don’t forget about the water! Plants need at least 1 inch of water per week to stay healthy and happy. If it’s too hot outside, check back every two days instead of once a week; more frequent watering can cause shock or even death in certain circumstances.
• Make sure that your soil is well-drained; if you’re using potting mix (or just compost), make sure there isn’t any standing water at all in the bottom of your container after watering—if there is, add some drainage holes or move on to something else! You don’t want those roots sitting in soggy dirt for long periods of time—they’ll start rotting away before they ever see sunlight again!
• Think about where you’re planting–if they’re not getting enough light where they’re located now then try moving them closer towards natural light sources such as windows or skylights so they get enough vitamin D1 from UV rays during winter months when days are shorter than normal.”

Conclusion

With these three tips, you’ll be able to get your plants growing like a pro. Try them out, and maybe soon your garden will look as amazing as mine!
