Flower bed care

In order for your flower bed to delight you for a long time and not lose its blooming appearance, it is worth adhering to some care recommendations:

1. As soon as you have planted flowers, they must be watered immediately, regardless of whether they are moisture-loving or not.
2. Saplings one must have in abundance. If a flower does not take root, it is replaced with another one of the same height. This will prevent spoiling the composition.
3. Until the flower bed has turned into a solid carpet, the earth between the flowers is loosened. It is especially important to do this before watering. This will help the water reach the roots better.
4. During the period of active growth, flowers need feed... For this purpose, you can purchase mineral or organic fertilizers.
5. After your flower bed has bloomed, don't forget to remove the inflorescences.
6. During frosts, the plants must be covered with foil. As soon as the heat returns, the film is removed.
7. Annual plants are removed in late autumn, the earth is dug up. And perennials must be covered for the winter.
8. Don't water your flower garden very often. Even for moisture-loving plants, this will not be useful.Watering is necessary rarely, but abundantly, so that the soil is well saturated with moisture. From frequent watering, a crust forms on the soil surface, which does not allow air and water to pass to the roots.
9. Be sure to weed in the summer weeds... They not only spoil the look of the flower bed, but also interfere with growth.
10. If rainfall is rare in your area, spray the plants. The water jet should not be too strong so as not to damage fragile flowers, but enough to wash the dust off the leaves.
11. Perennial plants that may still bloom in autumn are best cut off immediately after flowering. Some flowers are cut very close to the ground.
12. Do not leave tall plants with large, heavy flowers unsupported. It does not have to be a stick, you can purchase or come up with a decorative support, and tie the flower with a ribbon.
13. As you leave, move away those buds that have already wilted. This is done not only for decorative purposes, but also to allow other buds to bloom more luxuriantly.
