What Factors Might Be Harmful For Your Plants?
What Factors Might Be Harmful For Your Plants? Growing a beautiful and a fruitful garden requires more than just a green thumb. Plant growth depends on so many different factors. Some of the most important ones are age of the vegetation, climatic conditions, habits of vegetation, season etc. Growing of the vegetation is a complex procedure.
Damaging of the roots is the major reasons why the plants do not grow up till their maximum capability. The cold dry weather is a major plant growth inhibitor. It damages your plants to a great extent.
Indoor Plants Temperature Guide
Indoor Plants Temperature Guide – The natural home of most indoor plants lies in the Tropics. In this country they are raised commercially in glasshouses. These two simple facts have given rise to the widespread belief that high temperatures are essential for the proper cultivation of house plants.
The truth is that very few types will grow satisfactorily at temperatures above 75°F under ordinary room conditions. The reason is that the amount of light falling on the leaves and the amount of moisture in the air are far less in a room than outdoors in the Tropics or under glass, so the need for heat is correspondingly less.
Planting Shrubs To Feed The Birds
Provide a natural food source by planting shrubs to feed the birds – shrubs and trees that will provide berries and fruit to your birds all year long. What is wonderful about fruit bearing trees and shrubs is the glorious flowers they produce in advance of the flowers turning to seeds/berries that the birds just love.
If you plant a variety of shrubs that flower and fruit at different times of the year, your birds will have a natural source of food and you won\’t have to spend quite as much on bird seed either. It is especially important to have food for birds during the winter months.
Succulent Plants: Growth And Care
Succulent plants are slightly different from typical herbaceous perennial plants because succulents are plants that have adapted to environments in which water is unavailable for long periods of time. As a result of this, much of their uniqueness is related to their relationship with water. Succulent plants are very efficient when it comes to collecting and conserving water. They are also more subject to problems when exposed to too much water. Water management is one of the biggest defining factors in keeping succulents healthy.
Here is the general care knowledge you need to keep your succulents happy, from water to soil to sun exposure.
The Life Cycle Of Flowering Plants
The Life Cycle Of Flowering Plants – Flowering plants have evolved in many different ways to help them reproduce and survive in a range of habitats. Knowing how plants function and understanding their life cycles will make it much easier for you to grow them satisfactorily and work out an interesting planting plan in your own garden. There are four steps in the life cycle of a flowering plant:
1. Germination. Once the seeds have fallen from a plant, they are stimulated into growth only when they have enough water, light and warmth. Seeds of some flowers such as alpines must experience a period of cold before they will germinate.
Garden Screens And Dividers
Garden screen and dividers – Provided a garden is of an appropriate shape and size, division of the space into a number of smaller areas can dramatically increase the apparent size of the overall composition. It may also provide a feeling of mistery and surprise, engender an element of movement, and create opportunities for a series of different themes. This kind of space division can be achieved either in a straight-forward way, by using a solid barrier such as a wall, hedge or fence, or by using some kind of open garden screen that partially blocks a view but beckons you on with a glimpse of things to come.
Divisions of this kind do more than just block or deflect a view; by encouraging you to follow a planned route, interest is created in the different spaces along the way.
