Good Nursery Plants

Dwarf, compact and slow-growing varieties are the best options for a nursery. These types of plants are ideal for small spaces and can be used as a hedge or barrier to give you privacy.

Dwarf varieties are compact plants that grow slowly and require less maintenance than larger species. They also have fewer pests and diseases, so they’re easier to maintain in an indoor environment like a nursery setting. If you want something that’s not as big but still provides good coverage, go with dwarf varieties of common houseplants like African violets or succulents instead of standard-sized versions like Cacti or Agave plants (which will take up much more space).

Great Nursery Plants

Some plants are just easier to deal with than others, and that’s what you should be looking for when choosing your nursery plants. Here are some of the best options:

  • Easy to grow—If you want to avoid a lot of trouble and headaches, choose plants that are easy to grow. Not every plant will thrive in every environment, so pick varieties that will do well in the conditions you’re working with (e.g., sun exposure or soil type).
  • Easy propagation—If you can’t be bothered with waiting around while your seedlings grow up, consider planting perennials instead of annuals. They take longer up front but will provide more consistent returns over time because they return year after year once established—you’ll never have an empty space again!

Not-So-Good Nursery Plants

  • The first thing you should know about not-so-good nursery plants is that they are typically short-lived. If a plant doesn’t have a long life, then it probably won’t be good for your nursery.
  • Another reason why they’re bad is because they are hard to grow in nurseries. This means that if you’re trying to grow them in your nursery, it’ll take more time and effort than other plants—and who wants that?
  • Thirdly, since these plants are slow growing, they may not even be worth having in a business setting like yours! That’s why it’s important to make sure all of the plants you choose are up-to-date with modern technology (and faster growing).

Plant Spacing

Plant spacing can be a bit of a mystery when you’re first starting out. You’ll want to make sure you’ve got enough room between each plant so they don’t compete for nutrients, but not so much space that they all grow at different rates. It’s important to keep in mind the size of the plants and containers when deciding how far apart each one should be placed, as well as how many will fit on your tray or bed before they need repotting. We’ve created an easy-to-follow guide to help you choose the right spacing for optimal growth:

  • For seedlings, set them about 2 inches apart from other seedlings in their same group (e.g., tomatoes). This is because each plant requires its own root system and has slightly different needs than those next door; this will prevent root competition from occurring within groups and allow each individual plant to thrive on its own terms!
  • If planting where beds will eventually be covered with mulch, such as pine straw or straw bales turned upside-down over time then covered with some sort of fabric like burlap canvas cloth which allows water drainage through it but keeps weeds out then we suggest leaving at least 3 feet between plants at all times until harvest time comes around then adjust accordingly depending on what type it might be whether it’s early ripening varieties like Romano basil or late ones like Genovese basil which means we may need more space between rows now than later down south here in Texas where summers get really hot sometimes so having plenty of room helps prevent stress too much heat stress kills plants quickly especially if temperatures go above 100 degrees Fahrenheit / 37 Celsius regularly during hottest periods (June – August) during our growing season

Make sure to pick the right plants for your nursery and space them appropiately.

As a starting point, make sure to pick the right plants for your nursery. You can do this by asking yourself some questions about the plant you’re considering:

  • How big does it get?
  • Does its growth rate match what you need?
  • What is its growth pattern like (i.e., does it grow in bursts of speed or steadily)?
  • Do I want flowers on this plant, or will I be happy with just leaves and stems?
