Frequently Asked Questions
Is more water always better for plants?
No! Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes. Most plants prefer to dry out slightly between waterings.
When is the best time to prune?
Timing depends on plant type. Spring bloomers prune after flowering; summer bloomers prune in early spring. Always prune dead/damaged growth anytime.
Do all plants need fertilizer?
Not always. Soil with good organic matter may be sufficient. Use fertilizer if plants show slow growth or pale leaves.
