Buying plants online
Pre-plan the plants you want to plant this year.Organize your flowerbed, vegetable garden and orchard. Consider buying columnar trees if your garden is not the largest. In order to protect bees and provide them with food, join all those who plan flower meadows in their green areas. In addition, we sow the first plants for seedlings to be able to later transfer them to the ground. it's best to buy your seeds online now, as you may have to wait for delivery. Considerable interest in organic seeds in recent years has resulted in their being quickly sold out.
Take care of orchids - renew their flowering
" Orchids are transplanted into a new pot every 2-3 years, after the roots have come out of the container or when the substrate becomes soft, uniform and decomposed. After flowering, we replant the plants to a slightly larger pot. If they have too much substrate, the drying out of the root ball after watering will be excessively longer and the orchids will become ill. "
Bird feeding
The most important type of food will be the combination of oilseeds and grains. Depending on what birds winter in the vicinity of our gardens and what species we want to attract, we must take into account their preferences. It is important that regardless of other factors,do not feed the birds with breadAnother factor, which is worth paying attention to is the restriction of the use of nylon mesh with fat for titmouse. Birds get entangled in it and are unable to get out.
Sowing plants for seedlings
It's a great time to buy seeds for sowing tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers or organic sprouts! Prepare the seedlings in mini greenhouses or in cardboard egg containers. You can place them on the windowsill or in any other place where sunlight and temperature are right. Also consider sowing cherry tomatoes on the balcony, which you can successfully grow on the terrace later!
Cleaning potted plant leaves
The decrease in the relative air humidity goes hand in hand with the heating of apartments. It results in browning of the leaf edges, their curling and drying up; plants are more often attacked by spider mites.Therefore, the warmer the room, the more care must be taken to maintain the humidity around the plants.The easiest way is to spray it - with dry air every day.
We multiply herbs from pots
" Are you a fan of potted herbs from the supermarket? When choosing parsley, basil or coriander, it is worth trying to multiply them. We prepare additional pots and gradually pull the roots together with the soil. We gently cut them apart and try to locate them in the new soil. We irrigate well and allow it to take root and spread. Be careful of the so-called flooding of the plant - it may later result in the appearance of groundflies or rotting of the roots. "
Mini composter on the balcony
To prepare a mini composter on the balcony, we can use a ready-made one or make it from a bucket with a lid.Put vegetable and fruit peelings (excluding citrus peel), egg shells and other herbaceous parts into the composter. Please note that meat waste, cardboard with inscriptions and stickers, and bleached tissues are not suitable for this. An interesting idea is to use vegetable and fruit pulp from freshly squeezed juice. we are sure that it will decompose faster in the composter by pre-grinding.
