If you love plants but you’re afraid you won’t know how to care for them and that they’ll die… it’s time that change this. You may consider it difficult at first, but we assure you that if you follow our advice you will learn and become an expert. Are you ready to share your life with plants?

1. Choose your plant carefully

Even though you love bonsai or orchids, we recommend that before getting one, choose plants that are easier to care for and with which you can make mistakes. Once you get used to it and learn how to care for your plants, you’ll be ready to take care all types of plants. Some of the super recommended plants for beginners are Potos, Adam’s Rib (monstera deliciosa), espatifilo, schefflera, zamioculca, succulents, aloe vera…

2. Choose ideal location

We know that it is very difficult not to be in love with all the plants when you go shopping, bur it is very important know where you are going to put your new plant. Besides the light conditions, it is also important to know the space we have for can choose the perfect plant or plants.

Remember that even if the plant is very small at the beginning, it may grow so much that the space we had in mind for she becomes too small. On the other hand, if the plant is small and doesn’t grow much, in a big space she will go completely unnoticed. Another very important aspect is not to put them near radiators, fans or air conditioners.

3. Water them properly

Make sure you know what watering pattern your plant needs when you buy it. Most, but not all, houseplants like to have a moist substrate. So you can water it when you see that the soil is starting to get a little dry. The perfect way to check if the soil is wet is to insert your finger or a stick under the first layer of soil. If it comes out with soil stuck to it, it is still wet and you can wait a little while to water it. If it comes out with nothing, the soil is already dry and needs to be watered.

Another aspect of watering that you should consider is not to leave the plate with water too long, as it could rot the roots. Therefore, the best thing to do after watering is to wait for the water to drain and empty that water from the dish.

4. Give them light

Plants need light to live, but should never receive it directly, as they could burn themselves. Be careful also not to put them in front of a window, because the glass could make a lens effect and burn them. In summary, put them in a place that gives them light but be careful that it is not direct. 🙂

5. Controls pests and bugs

To avoid scares, it is essential that you take a look at your plant every time you water. when you see something strange happening to it, go to your nearest garden center to get help. If you bring them a leaf sample, it will be much easier to identify what’s wrong with your plant and give you a good solution.

If we have convinced you and you want to get started in the world of plants, at Agrojardín we will be happy to advise and help you choose the best plants for you. Come and see us and ask us without any compromise).

September has arrived, the month in which we have to say goodbye to the summer and welcome the autumn, both in our lives and in the garden, where we will have to carry out many tasks. In order that you do not forget anything and you have your orchard or garden prepared for autumn, from Agrojardín we give you some advices.

Plan your orchard

Good planning is always essential to succeed in everything. And in an orchard, too.

With a good planning you will be able to take the maximum a benefit of your orchard and you will have controlled that in all the moment it has yield. In this way you will avoid that some empty spaces remain or that you lack space at some time for some plants.

And if you want more acdurated you can elaborate a small daily diary. In it, you can write down all the treatments you apply to your plants, observations, key dates… everything you can think of to keep everything planned and up to date!

Harvest seeds

Harvesting all the seeds is a bit of an arduous task, but we assure you that it is worth it. On the one hand, you have seeds to replant in the spring, and on the other hand, you prevent them from growing out of control in your garden.

A very important aspect to take into consideration is that the seeds should always be collected from fruits that have matured in the plant. They should then be dried in the sun and stored in a cool, dry place until spring.

Remove summer crops

It is time to say goodbye to the summer plants which have given so much joy to us and to say goodbye to them, taking them off when their production is over.

Fertilize the land

Some summer crops like peppers, cucumbers or tomatoes need a lot of nutrients, so you may have to renew the nutrients in that land so that the next crops will have enough food and will not miss anything.

War on Weeds

Perhaps the weeds have taken the opportunity of our vacation absence to proliferate and try to take over our garden. And besides, the fluctuation of September temperatures makes them come out more than usual. So at this point… it is time to start a war with them and show them who is in charge of our orchard!

Pruning and cleaning

We can’t forget to prune and clean our plants, removing the flowers that are withered and the dry branches. This will help our plants not to waste energy in other areas and prepare them to resist the winter like a champion.

Keep the pests away

We must check all our plants correctly for signs of possible pests, which could ruin everything. Because if we are careless and have some insect or fungus attacking our plants, they will not be able to strengthen and nourish themselves to survive during the winter. If you want to bet on a sustainable and ecological way to fight pests without chemicals you might be interested in integrated pest control.

It’s time to plant

Once we have completed all the relevant tasks it is time to start work and plant our new autumn plantation!

The ideal crops to sow in seeds in September are:

Chard, zucchini, onion, cabbage, kohlrabi, endive, spinach, turnip greens, pea, bean, fennel, lettuce, lentils, turnip greens, potato, parsley, radish, arugula, carrot

On the other hand, we can plant the following directly in the plant:

Artichoke, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, onion, lettuce, romanesca

At Agrojardín you will find all the tools to correctly carry out the tasks of September in your garden or orchard and all the plants to plant. Come and see us and we will be happy to assess 🙂
