TIPS 5
Use large flower pots
Fertilize regularly
Remove withered flowers
Summer flowers grow vigorously in a short amount of time. Therefore, you should plant them in large pots that can hold plenty of nutritious soil, and gives the roots enough space to grow. In big pots, the soil will keep moist longer, so you don’t have to water the plants all the time.
All flowers and plants need nutrition to grow big and strong. Fertilize often – with a little amount each time – from March to October. This makes your plants more resistant to diseases and insects, and equip them for a long and dark winter.
Cut off old and faded flowers – this stimulates new buds to pop up.
TIPS 2
Choose nutritious, high quality soil On a balcony, we plant flowers and plants in boxes and pots that have limited space for soil. Therefore, it’s important to choose quality soil that keeps moist for a long time. You should choose peat-free flower soil, especially suitable for your plants. This soil is 100 present compost based, which has several positive effects on the soil’s quality, the plants, and our environment.
TIPS 4
Water regularly Plants and flowers have different needs when it comes to water. It’s important that you give plenty of water to your plants straight after you have put them in soil, as they then are extra vulnerable and can dry out. Also, make sure the pots have good drainage – no flower likes to soak in water.
