CEBU, Philippines - Most of us turn to gardening to de-stress and improve the look of the home. If you've recently taken up gardening as a hobby, you need to be armed with practical tips so you can care for your plants and your green space. Keep your outdoor sanctuary in a tip-top shape with these tips:
Do your research.
Gardening involves preparing the space where you can grow your plants, as well as checking if there's enough water supply that can help you care for your greens. Choose your plants and research on how you can take care of them. Each plant has its own set of needs that you shall take note of.
Don't water your plants in the middle of the day.
Since the temperature at midday is transitioning from warm to cold, watering may cause damage to your plants' roots. You may water them early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Do make it stylish.
Whether you're developing an outdoor space or starting an indoor garden, you can improve the space by opting for stylish and quirky planters. These pieces can add life to your garden, too. You may also want to consider repurposing old bottles, mason jars, tin cans, and plastic bottles into planters.
Don't forget to keep your area and gardening station organized.
Once you're all set, you also need to make sure that your garden and repotting station are clean and organized. You may hang your gardening tools like watering cans and pots to make use of the vertical space. Store your pots, planters, and other tools inside crates then place them in one corner. You should also be on the lookout for weeds that can destroy your plants.
