How to choose decorative plants for the garden

Every garden must have trees, shrubs, and flowers. Trees may serve not only an aesthetic function. Fruit trees look beautiful in spring. Coniferous and deciduous seedlings can also become a decoration for your garden. The main thing is to learn how to choose seedlings for your garden.

When selecting seedlings of trees and shrubs, pay attention to the plant's appearance. Inspect the bark and root system. Shrub roots should be healthy and well-developed. Tree roots usually mirror their canopy. Do not take seedlings with small roots. Pay attention to lateral roots; do not buy seedlings of trees and shrubs with only one well-developed root. It is better to buy plants in containers; they always root quickly and adapt easily. If you want to decorate your garden with flowering fruit trees, choose grafted seedlings. Carefully inspect the grafting site. The wound should be fully healed.

Inspect the plant's trunk. It should be even, healthy, without damage. There should be no growths or spots on the trunk and roots. The roots' color should be light. When selecting roses, always pay attention to shoots and roots. Roses should have a well-developed root system. You can run a fingernail along the roots - they should be light and alive inside. It is preferable to choose seedlings with several shoots. Only healthy decorative plant seedlings will quickly adapt to new conditions and delight you with beauty.

Tips for planting plants in the garden

When to plant decorative plants. It is best to plant plants that bloom in spring in the fall. They will delight you with beautiful blooms already in the first spring after planting. Trees and shrubs that bloom closer to autumn are better planted in spring. Of course, there are exceptions to the rules. For example, mature trees are better transplanted in winter. Large conifers are transplanted exclusively in winter. Rose seedlings are planted in spring and fall.

Shrubs and trees in containers can be planted anytime within the season, but seedlings with an open root system should be purchased only in spring or fall and planted as soon as possible.

How to plant decorative plants. Planting rules for each plant are individual. However, there are tips that can be applied to all plants. The planting hole must be twice as large as the root system. Many seedlings respond well to a drainage layer. Also, it is recommended to add mineral fertilizers during planting. Holes are better dug in advance, so the soil can settle. Usually, the root collar is not buried during planting (though there are exceptions to this rule). After planting, the plant is watered, and the soil is mulched. It is essential to spread out the roots of seedlings, so they will root faster.

How decorative plants reproduce. Decorative plants can be propagated by cuttings, division of the bush, layering, or seeds. Bulbous decorative flowers can be grown by detaching offsets from the mother plant. Many flowers can be grown from seeds. Coniferous plants propagate well by cuttings, but it is not recommended to cut them; it is better to simply pull them off. Some trees are often propagated by layering (for example, cherry or magnolia).

Growing decorative plants is quite easy. If you need beautiful shrubs, trees, or flowers, you can always contact our garden center Greensad.
