Watering Tips

Upon purchasing new indoor plants, it is best to research how much water plants and grass requires. Over or under watering can negatively affect the quality of the plant or new sod. In general, you want to water a plant so the soil is damp. If you are in the purchasing phase prior to watering the plant, purchase soil, plant food and a pot to put your plant in. Ideally, you will want a pot that can drain water. Be sure you have something to put the pot in that can collect excess water. You don’t want to mess around with a mess on your floors! If you are newly sodding your yard, make sure to consult with an expert about watering and nutrition.

Light for Plants

Properly lighting is crucial for the maintenance of your plants. However, like water, too much or too little can be damaging. Research how much light your particular plants need and watch out for warning signs. In the Better Homes and Garden’s article, Lighting Needs of Houseplants, you will need to make some changes if your plants become lifeless and lose color. They say these are often signs of too much sun exposure. Leaves that turn yellow might also be a sign of too little light, as well as too much water or fertilizer.

Spring is one of the best times to plant flowers, add retaining walls, hardscape, and update gardens.
