Tips to remember when buying plants


The first stage of the power plant from the grower's greenhouse to his residency begins to retail outlets. Special delivery is needed, in order to avoid the plant were exposed to draughts, and extreme temperatures, which can cause irreversible damage. Plants may also suffer from the display, if not properly cared for. Spend a few hours browsing in several garden centres or retail outlets, if possible, before you decide which business you will help with the hard-earned money.

Pre Purchase inspection:

Is the display area, clean and well? They have a lot of customers? The constant turnover of stock usually means healthier plants are on the shelves of the trader for a short period.
Lift the pot check if plants are pot bound. The roots of the protruding from the drainage holes are a good indication of this problem.
Land, withdrew before the sides of the pot shows neglect to water.
The foliage is without errors or for any kind? Plants that are infected, mealy bug, rust, powdery mildew, or gray mold diseases should be rejected, because these problems all too easily be extended to other plants.
The leaves, wilting or yellow? This may be the only indication of watering by spasmodic, but may also refer to a problem with the root system.
Are plants, long and spindly? It is a sign of growing too close together, and are more likely to be shorter than when replanting, stronger plants.

In my view, it is a little self-serving to buy plants from the "space", if you do not have the experience and knowledge to be able to revive them. It's much better for a little more healthy and robust plants that will provide years of enjoyment with a bit of regular care and attention.

New plants are very much in danger when you take them home. Good Garden Center will wrap purchases either in paper or plastic foil to protect them. Excessive heat can also affect the plants so fast to leave in the trunk of the car in hot weather for long periods of time.

New plants for shady, cool place, continue until they themselves NEB to your home before their location to their permanent location.

Watch your selection carefully is the movement of plants, and a little extra TLC home when their implants will be large dividends for a longer period of time, the new plant survival
