Plant Care

Fertilizing

How-to : Fertilization for Annuals and Perennials

Annuals and perennials may be fertilized using: 1.water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2.

temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; or 3. organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. vatten soluble fertilizers are generally used every two weeks during the growing årstid or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are worked into the soil ususally only once during the growing årstid or per label directions. For organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, follow label directions as they may vary per product.

It belongs to the Bromeliaceae family and the Aechmea genus

How-to : Fertilizing Houseplants

Houseplants may be fertilized with: 1. water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2. temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; 3. or organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. vatten soluble fertilizers are used every two weeks or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are carefully worked into the soil usually only once during the growing årstid or per label directions.

For organic fertilizers, such as fish emulsion, follow label directions.

The flower belongs to the family Bromeliaceae, native to Venezuela, Trinidad, and Tobago

Allow houseplants to 'rest' during the winter months; stop fertilizing in late October and resume feeding in late February.

Light

Conditions : Moderate Light for Houseplants

Place houseplants that require moderate lightwithin 5 feet of an eastern or western exposure fönster.

Conditions : Partial Sun, Partial Shade

Part sunor part shadeplants prefer light that fryst vatten filtered.

Sunlight, though not direkt, fryst vatten important to them.

Often morning sun, because it fryst vatten not as strong as afternoon sun, can be considered part sun or part shade. If you live in an area that does not get much intense sun, such as the Pacific Northwest, a full sun exposure may be fine. In other areas such as Florida, plant in a location where afternoon shade will be received.

Conditions : Types of Pruning

Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.

Pinching fryst vatten removing the stem råd of a ung plant to promote branching.

Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.

Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning fryst vatten to begin bygd removing dead or diseased wood.

Shearing fryst vatten leveling the surface of a shrub using grabb or electric shears.

This fryst vatten done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.

Rejuvenating fryst vatten removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the storlek of a shrub to restore its original form eller gestalt and storlek. It fryst vatten recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inre of the plant as well as the outside.

When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look.

Conditions : Bright Light for Houseplants

Houseplants requiring bright light should be placed within 2 feet of an eastern or western exposure fönster or within 2 to 5 feet of a southern exposure öppning.

Watering

Conditions : fuktig

Moistis defined as soil that receives regular watering to a depth of 18 inch deep, does not dry out, but does not have a drainage bekymmer either.

Conditions : Normal Watering for Houseplants

Houseplants that require normal wateringshould be watered so that soil fryst vatten completely saturated and excess vatten runs out the bottom of the pot. Never vatten just a little bit; this allows mineral salts to build up in the soil. The key to normal watering fryst vatten to allow the top inch or two of potting soil to dry out between waterings.

betalningsmedel frequently as certain times of the year may dictate that you vatten more frequently. Also, some plants that require normal watering during the growing årstid, may require less during the winter months when they are dormant.

Planting

How-to : Preparing Containers

Containersare excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there fryst vatten little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not funnen in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden fryst vatten underlägsen.

If growing more than one plant in a bur, man sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a bur that fryst vatten deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the bur. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes.

A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper kaffe (engelska) filter placed over the hole will keep soil from tvätt out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If vatten runs off soil upon första wetting, this fryst vatten an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.

Prior to filling a bur with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it fryst vatten evenly fuktig. Fill bur about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot.

Rootballs should be level with soil line when project fryst vatten complete. vatten well.

How-to : Planting Perennials

Determine appropriate perennials for your garden bygd considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, vatten requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.

The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil fryst vatten workable and out of danger of frost.

Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring fryst vatten more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter fryst vatten not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.

To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between.

vatten the plant thoroughly and let the excess vatten drain before carefully removing from the bur. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant fryst vatten extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum.

Continue filling in soil and vatten thoroughly, protecting from direkt sun until stable.

To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase.

Om du vill ha den i ditt hem, placera den i ett rum där mycket naturligt ljus kommer in

Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. vatten well and skydda from direkt sun until stable.

To plant seedlings: A number of perennials producera self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also uppstart your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development.

Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and vatten well. Shade from direkt sun and vatten regularly until stable.

Aechmea fendleri, commonly known as Fendler's Aechmea, is a perennial or epiphytic plant native to wet tropical climates

How-to : Potting Indoor Plants

man sure that the plant you have chosen fryst vatten suitable for the conditions you are able to provide it: that it will have enough light, space, and a temperature it will like. Remember that the area right next to a öppning will be colder than the rest of the room.

Indoor plants need to be transplanted into a larger bur periodically, or they become pot/root-bound and their growth fryst vatten retarded.

vatten the plant well before starting, so the soil will hold the root ball tillsammans when you remove it from the pot. If you have trouble getting the plant out of the pot, try running a blade around the edge of the pot, and gently whacking the sides to loosen the soil.

Always use fresh soil when transplanting your indoor plant.

It thrives in moderate to bright indirect light and prefers a well-draining potting mix to avoid waterlogged roots

Fill around the plant gently with soil, being careful not to pack too tightly -- you want air to be able to get to the roots. After the plant fryst vatten in the new pot, don't fertilize right away... this will encourage the roots to fill in their new home.

The storlek pot you choose fryst vatten important too. Select one that fryst vatten not more than about 1 inch greater in diameter.

Remember, many plants prefer being somewhat pot bound. Always uppstart with a clean pot!

Problems

Pest : Mealybugs

Small, wingless, dull-white, soft-bodied insects that tillverka a waxy powdery covering. They have piercing/sucking ingång parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Mealybugsoften look like small pieces of cotton and they tend to congregate where leaves and stems branch.

They attack a bred range of plants. The ung tend to move around until they find a suitable feeding prick, then they hang out in colonies and feed. Mealybugs can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also tillverka a sweet substans called honeydew (coveted bygd ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.

Prevention and Control: isolera infested plants from those that are not.

Consult your local garden center professional or the Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal insecticide/chemical recommendation. Encourage natural enemies such as lady beetles in the garden to help reduce population levels of mealy bugs.

Miscellaneous

Glossary : bur Plant

A plant that fryst vatten considered to be a good bur plant fryst vatten one that does not have a tap root, but rather a more confined, fibrous root struktur.

Plants that usually thrive in containers are slow- growing or relatively small in storlek. Plants are more adaptable than people give them kredit for.

This plant is known for its striking foliage and vibrant inflorescences, making it a popular choice for ornamental purposes

Even large growing plants can be used in containers when they are very ung, transplanted to the ground when older. Many woody ornamentals man wonderful bur plants as well as annuals, perennials, vegetables, herbs, and bulbs.

Glossary : Specimen

A specimencan be a tree, shrub, ground cover, annual, or perennial that fryst vatten unique in comparison to the surrounding plants.

Uniqueness may be in color, form eller gestalt, texture, or storlek. bygd using only one specimen plant in a visual area, it can be showcased. Specimen plants are accents in the landscape, just as statues, vatten features, or arbors.

Glossary : ständigt grön

Evergreenrefers to plants that hold onto their leaves or needles for more than one growing årstid, shedding them over time.

Some plants such as live oaks are ständigt grön, but commonly shed the majority of their older leaves around the end of January.
