• Adequate supply of sunlight, water, fertile soil and planting bulbs at the right time in the right sized container is very important for the health of the plant. Besides this, timely watering, pruning and trimming, plant food doses and just enough mulch to ensure the plant grows is necessary for the beginner gardener.
• Bulbs need to be planted at the right depth in the right season for them to grow out well, be they shrubs or tall, flowering plants. Be sure not to heap up excess soil or too much water without providing for drainage as this can aid development of rot due to over-heating.
• Plant perennials and annuals so that you do not need to replant them and these flowers give you beauty and joy for many years to come.
• Move dead-heads of the flowers so that new blossoms will be encouraged to bloom and ensure you don’t dispose off the deadhead in the same space or mildew will attack your plant.
• Permit pollinator insects like butterflies, beetles and bees to naturally fertilize the plants as these transfer pollen from one to another plant, especially for the flowering variety.
