Spring is coming: take care of your plants to prepare them for this wonderful season.

During this time, it is therefore good to concentrate all our energy on caring for them in order to  prepare them in the best possible way .

Let’s see what  measures  are advisable this season.

  1. Light:  With the arrival of beautiful days, it is important to let as much light as possible into the house so that our plants can also enjoy it. Place them next to a window and open them for several hours a day.
  2. Cleaning:  Always dust the leaves of houseplants with a damp cloth to remove dust or other accumulated dirt.
  3. Pruning:  This means removing dry leaves and branches from the plants or other parts ruined by the winter cold. This applies to both indoor and garden plants. Also, make sure to use suitable scissors so that you make clean and precise cuts.
  4. Potting and sowing:  If you want to enjoy the flowering of bulbous plants, this is the ideal season for potting. In addition, you can also sow many aromatic herbs such as basil and parsley during this time.
  5. Fertilizing:  To have healthy and lush flowers and plants, it is advisable to provide them with all the nutrients they need, using natural liquid fertilizers once a week.
  6. Bring the plants back outside : To protect some plants from frost, during the winter it is advisable to bring them indoors so that they are safe. But when the nice days return and the temperatures start to rise, it is better to put them back outside so that they can enjoy the sunlight.
  7. Water:  When temperatures rise, it means that water tends to evaporate much faster, for this reason it is advisable to increase the frequency of watering.
  8. Repotting and transplanting:  Some plants need to change air, soil and containers. Spring is the ideal time of year to do this.
