How do I plant my plants?
Planting is a great way to support local ecosystems. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Select the Planting Location: Find a spot that mimics the plant's natural habitat (e.g., full sun, partial shade, dry, or wet areas).
Prepare the Soil: Clear the area of weeds and debris. Loosen the soil to improve drainage and root penetration. You might want to mix in some compost for added nutrients.
Planting:
- Dig a hole about twice the size of the plant’s root ball.
- Place the plant in the hole, making sure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
- Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots.
Watering: Water the plant thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the establishment phase.
Maintenance: Monitor the plant for pests and diseases. Regular watering may be necessary during dry spells, but most plants (native in-particular) are drought-tolerant once established.
Observe: Enjoy watching the plant thrive and attract local wildlife!
How do I know what conditions my plants prefer?
We understand it can be hard to know what conditions each plant requires. You can find each plants preferred conditions and maintenance needs under each product description.
Happy planting!
