Some information from
Windowbox.com...
1.
Choosing the right plant: You won't
have to spend as much time caring for your
plants if you choose plants that are
suited to your environmental conditions
and gardening style. Let the
Floracle
help you find which plants are right for
you.
2.
Watering: Test the soil in your
containers every day with your finger. If
it's dry an inch below the surface -
water. If you can't water your plants on a
regular basis, consider self-watering
containers.
3.
Fertilizing: Mix a dry,
time-release fertilizer into the soil when
planting, and use small
amounts
of liquid fertilizer for regular feeding
every few weeks.
4.
Fighting Pests: Inspect plants
regularly for fungus, insects, bugs, etc.
Remove any diseased or dying leaves. Spray
insects
with water or other natural repellants to
get rid of them.
5.
Pruning: Don't be afraid to cut or
trim plants to keep their shape and
encourage growth - just leave at least 2/3
of the original plant intact so it'll have
enough surface area to absorb sunlight.
Pinch (aka. deadhead)
faded flowers regularly to encourage more
blooms on annual plants.
Keep
in mind that every plant is different.
Take some time to read up on your plants
and learn as much as you can about their
individual needs. A little time spent
reading and planning now can save you a
lot of time and disappointment
later.
