How to grow perfect plant ?
Do you want to be able to show your friends how to grow the perfect plant? Just follow the steps and soon you'll be growing loads of plants. Find or buy a plant pot. You can even recycle cleaned plastic drink bottles & milk cartons (cut their tops off, then carefully poke a drainage hole in at the base so the plant doesn't drown), or cardboard egg cartons or even egg shells. Fill the plant pot with soil. The better the soil, the better the plant will grow. Then make a small hole in the soil with your finger or thumb. Some seeds need to be sown only a few millimetres deep, some prefer an inch or two. The seed packet usually advises this, or search on the internet. Then plant the seed and cover soil back over the hole. Another method is to buy a sack of potting mix and cut small holes in the top of the sack with scissors, then sow the seed directly into the sack. This method works well with any Seasonal flowers. Keep the pot moist - the easiest way is with your finger - gently insert it in the soil without disturbing the seed and if it feels moist its fine. If its dry, add a little water. If its wet, try to improve drainage with holes in the pot (if they are plastic) or hold off giving it any water. In a few days or weeks (depending on the seed) you'll see them sprouting. Tips Make sure your plant gets enough sunlight and water eg. don't give your plant too much or too little sunlight or too much water Make sure you're patient eg. don't give up on your plant because it's not growing. Make sure you give your plant time. When making the hole to put the seed in, make sure that the hole only goes half way up your finger. The best place to put your plant would be in a conservatory. |
