5 Introductory Tips for an Effective Plant Health Care


Providing effective plant care can be easier than raising kids. Both the duties have some similarities to share. Placing strong roots is like building a nice home environment, removing unwanted weeds is keeping away bad company, providing extra care at the infant stage, offering continuous support and independence as they grow mature, and finding the perfect balance between proper nutrition and growth is guiding your kid to lead a successful life. These similarities account to some of the essential care your young plants need at the time of birth

and growth.


Prepare The Perfect

Environment Inserting a good and healthy soil before planting is the basic preparation you need to come up with. Loosen soil to 6 inches at least, add some organic matter such as compost, manure, etc., and then mix thoroughly. At the end rake the ground to level.


Don’t Plunge Plants Into Thick Soil As most seeds require minimum covering, keep the soil layer to around just

0.25 inch thick. Planting flower seeds too deep is one of the most common mistakes inexperienced gardeners tend to make. Seed depth and planting

time are some critical things to work on. It’s better to consult an expert gardener in this case.


Nourish Young Plants Well You can actively nourish growing plants by adding water-soluble fertilizers in the watering can. However, do observe that these fertilizers sometimes come with high concentrations of chemical additives, which may not always be the preferred choice for young plants. As a replacement, you can also go organic with slow affecting but healthier compost, manure or fish fertilizers. A home-brewed manure tea is another wise option with good health effects.

Slower processing organic foods may not be able to keep up pace with your fast and active growing young plants, but they can provide a long-lasting healthier soil environment that would be able to benefit future flower generations.


Keep Out Weeds At All Costs The nature and health of neighboring plants influences the life of young plants greatly from a small age. One such species are weeds, which should not be tolerated at all costs. Weeds steal away all the essential nutrients and water from plants and leave them in a bad state. No matter how much you protect your lawn and plants, but weeds always tend to find a way back in. Therefore, it does not matter how much time it takes, you need to pull out these unwelcomed invaders thoroughly on regular basis.


Extra Care At The Seedling Stage Once the seeds sprout, you need to go in with extra care as the plant is most vulnerable at this

stage. Keep the soil moist, but don’t rush into fertilizing until you see two healthy leaves.

Fertilizing newly sprouted seeds is like fork feeding a baby, it would not go well and could be harmful.
