Look at the structure of the nursery

Does that sound weird to you?

You will be surprised how smart and useful this tip will be for you.

Each nursery is divided into three parts - a shaded part, a partially shaded part, and a part that is in the sun.

When you arrive at the nursery, do your homework, and know to which part you are assigning the plants and what the amount of light is in that place.

Plants that are in full sun will not be able to grow indoors, and plants that are in the shaded part will not be able to grow in the garden under the sun.

With this knowledge, you can move forward in choosing the seedlings without unnecessary dilemmas.

 seasonal plants

There are seasonal plants that bloom only in a certain season of the year.

You should take this into account and know that there are several seedlings that you will need to renew every few months.

The bloom brings a lot of color and life and it is strongly recommended not to give it up.

This season, a host of flowering plants will be waiting for you in the nurseries, such as snapdragons, nitsanit (which blooms in cycles all year round), pansy and date, yellow and orange sunflowers, petunias that come in white, purple and pink colors, cyclamen, anemones, bulbs and marigolds that look like a blooming yellow ball.

Silver baskets will give you the feeling of rich vegetation, and it easily covers large areas.

The plants mentioned here are considered easy to grow, require only light and watering, and will last you at least three months of spectacular blooms.

Tools for planting

Even if you don't have a fancy garden, you can create a beautiful garden by planting in pots and planters.

This is the obvious option when it comes to an apartment, but even if you live in a detached house, there is no obligation to plant an endless garden, you can simply place pots of different sizes throughout the garden, and plant the plants of your choice in each of them.

That way you won't have to maintain an entire garden, and you can also choose tools that will be used as a design element.

It is very important to be careful with vessels with a drainage hole, to prevent rotting of the roots.

Beside the tools themselves there are also stands in which the planting tools can be placed.

To create interest, it is recommended to combine stands of varying heights.

 location

The pots can be on the floor or hung on a hook.

To get an impressive look, it is recommended to combine both - some of the pots are hanging and others of different sizes are placed on the floor.

It is customary to hang the petunia, fern, Bat Sheva and other plants at a height.

The nursery provides flower pots with racks, but it is recommended to look for designed tools - plastic, ceramic, macrame and others, which will add an additional and interesting design layer to the whole look.

Also the dining table - the one inside, but also the one located outside, on the balcony, will get a great upgrade thanks to a designed flower pot or two that you place in the center.

If you have chairs in a certain shade, yellow for example, you can choose a plant with yellow flowers and the relationship between the two will add chic to the look.

 Who is planting?

There is no problem to plant alone.

If you are planting yourself, it is recommended to buy the soil at a nursery, because it is usually soil that comes already fertilized, and it will help keep the plants fresh and fresh.

In addition, equip yourself with a set of digging tools that will help you with the job.

Another option is planting in the nursery itself, then you will have to prepare with a large enough vehicle.

Three tips that you should cut and save

The tip for a private jungle

Does that sound grandiose to you?

Definately not.

All that is needed is to find a shady corner inside the house or outside, and place in it a cluster of wild-looking plants that are suitable for the shade.

Choosing large plants such as elephant ears, bird of paradise and similar simpler plants will give your corner the look of a wild jungle, which does not require special maintenance.

The big secret to the success of such a garden is light and lots of shade.

The tip for a perfect succulent garden

We all learned that succulents are easy to grow.

This is a thorny and spectacular plant that requires almost no watering, and allows us to have a garden full of chic and style.

But, and there is a big but - if you want to see your succulent bloom, you must place it in direct sunlight.

Only then will it fully bloom.

The tip for the spice garden

The spice garden is a type of natural perfume, which will bring into your kitchen or garden heaping doses of the smell of fresh spices.

If you are one of the cooks, look for a particularly long planter in the nursery - there are planters a meter long or more.

Choose a number of herbs that you use the most,
