Spring means out with the old and in with the new. It’s time to clean up the winter mess and bring some freshness into your home and garden. Below compiled a list of friendly tips and reminders for flower-lovers everywhere.
1. Trim or toss your winter plants
If you still have flowers from winter you’d like to keep, you have to find a way to breathe new life into them. First, examine the plant carefully and zero in on any dead branches. Carefully cut them off using a pair of secateurs. This will ensure that only the living parts of the flower get the food and the nutrients. Remove any dead leaves from the remaining branches and soil. Now, pour water in a bottle or a watering can and let it stand for a couple of day. This distills your water to make sure that the plants are getting only the best!
2. Get some Spring flowers!
While your winter plants recover, decorate your home with Spring Plants and Spring Arrangements. Follow the same watering procedure for the plants as listed above. If an arrangement is what tickles your fancy, make sure to take your flowers out of the vase and cut the ends at an angle. Put them back into the water right away. If the flowers drank most of the water, refill the vase with warm tap water. This will make the arrangement last much longer.
3. Plant a garden.
Springtime is perfect for planting a garden. Don’t know where to start? Get some seeds or outdoor plants, along with a shovel and a bucket for water. It’s better to start planting after rain, so that the soil is most and the seeds/plants have something to feed on. Make sure to plant in places where there will be lots of sunshine. After depositing the seed into the soil, bury it with the shovel and water it right away. If there is no rain for a few days, it’s better to keep watering your plants to make sure they have enough nutrients to grow and flourish.
Follow those three steps above and surround yourself with blooming and uplifting flowers, most of which will last you until the cold comes back.
