Tips And Tricks To Keep Plants Blooming

Tea

Before you even plant, consider soaking your seeds in tea. Tea can actually provide essentials that allow your seed to germinate better and soak in certain nutrients that keep it healthy.

Shearing

Cutting back isn’t always a bad thing. If you see your plants getting heavy with branches or just thick, shear some of that extra weight away. This will allow nutrients to keep your plant alive instead of being spread too thin.

Deadheading

Kind of along the lines as the idea above, deadheading removes the parts of the plant that are dead and wasting space. Once you’ve removed them, the plant will naturally begin growing a seed or bud in that area since, well, that’s what plants do best!

Water

Over and under watering causes tons of problems for gardeners. Make sure you know how much water your plants need, and then water accordingly. Too little can make the plant dry out and too much will drown it.

Nails

This may be unconventional, but for plants that love iron-rich soil, just let some nails soak in their water beforehand. Once you go to water, you can remove the nails, but the iron from the metal will still be in the water. Ingenious!

The soil gets nutrient rich and can really make your plants healthy and bloom. Plus, here are 10 composting tips for beginners!

      There are some mixed opinions on using milk, but I think it’s worth a shot! You would want to use whole milk (or even unpasteurized if possible) because that milk will have the most nutrients. The plants will benefit the most from the vitamins and nutrients that are found in the milk. I also suggest that if you are going to try it, you use it in a garden that hasn’t been tended to in a while. Those are the areas that usually need the most mineral/vitamin boost in the soil. Hope this helps.

    Wow! This is very interesting and I love to read about your suggestions. The nails in the soil, the turmeric for the pests, the compost, specifics on fertilizer and watering. Well done.
