There are some of us who can’t get enough of nature and love to have it surround us every day. People like this also love to see things grow and to help them grow. That is why they create their own gardens and they grow many different flowers. But how easy would it be if someone wanted to plant a tree?
If you have a potted plant inside your home or out that you love and it is infested with bugs don’t throw it out just yet. There are three steps that you can take that might just fix your problem.
1. You can remove the caterpillars, slugs, and other larger pests by hand (remember to wear gloves) or you can swab pests with a small brush or cotton swab that is moistened with rubbing alcohol. This method is feasible when plants are small and infestations very light. It is tedious and must be done once a week over a period of time.
We need to take more care with water in our gardens during a dry season. Reduce the impact that hot, dry weather has on your plants by planting flora adapted to the average moisture and soil type of your region. Natives are a good idea but not the only answer for beautiful, lush gardens.
