Magic tips to revive your plants
Plants sometimes need a little boost to regain their full radiance and vigour. Here are some magic tips to revive your plants and bring them back to life:
- Clean the leaves: To remove dust and allow leaves to breathe better, gently clean them with a damp cloth. This will allow the plant to better capture light.
- Change the soil: If your plant shows signs of fatigue, it may be time to change its soil. Choose a nutrient-rich soil to stimulate plant growth.
- Water sparingly: Excessive watering can stifle the plant’s roots. Make sure you let the soil dry slightly between two waterings to avoid excesses.
How to help your plants spread quickly
Do you want to multiply your plants to enlarge your garden or offer them to your loved ones? Here are some tips to help your plants spread quickly:
- The tuft division: Some plants, such as iris or hostas, can be multiplied by dividing their tufts. Separate rhizomes or stolons and replant them in new locations for new plants.
- Cuts: Cuttings are an excellent way to multiply plants. Remove a healthy stem and place it in water or soil. Within a few weeks, roots should form and the cutting can be planted in a pot.
- Seeds: For some plants, such as annual flowers, seedling multiplication is the simplest and most economical way. Harvest the seeds at the end of the season and sow them the following spring.
Tips to help your plants root and grow young leaves
To promote the rooting and growth of young leaves on your plants, here are some practical tips to follow:
- Use cutting hormone: To help your cuttings form roots more easily, you can soak them in cutting hormone before planting them.
- Bring nutrients: Young growing plants need a lot of nutrients to grow properly. Don’t hesitate to fertilize your plants regularly to promote their growth.
- Ensure proper drainage: Good drainage of the pot or garden is essential to prevent rotting of the roots. Use a well draining substrate and empty the water saucers to avoid excess moisture.
Following these magic tricks, your plants will be revived, spread quickly, root properly and grow young leaves in abundance.
