Many of our garden and indoor plants require our care in four ways. Measured against the life of a plant, this often begins with sowing and raising the young plants. In addition to regular watering, it is important that the plants in the substrate are supplied with important nutrients, which can also be added via fertilizer. Later, many plants, including indoor plants, but also palm trees, potted plants and cacti, are repotted, have to be trimmed, grafted or overwintered in a cool, bright room. Plant care is always individual, which is why we will provide practical instructions for plant care for numerous plants and plants in the house and garden. You don't necessarily have to have a green thumb, but you should already be familiar with your plants. Most plants perish due to our care mistakes. It doesn't have to be. Many plant lovers simply do not know their way around. Most mistakes are made when casting. Few plants die when they don't get enough water, most drown instead. Hardly any plant tolerates too much water, especially standing water in the saucer or planter (of course there are also plants that like it). Mistakes can also be made when fertilizing. Over-fertilizing is worse than not fertilizing at all. If you're lucky, the plants just shoot up and die. If you're unlucky, they can also die.
If you forgot to ask for the care instructions when you bought a plant, you will find a lot of instructions on plant care here. In this way, mistakes can be avoided and you can enjoy your plants for a long time, regardless of whether they are indoor, potted or garden plants.
