How To Choose Suitable Plants From Any Plant Nursery

By Elizabeth Sullivan


If you are planting a garden or doing any landscaping on a large scale you know how essential the right vegetation is to making your space look good. A plant nursery may have many suitable choices available but if you do not know what you are looking for you may not have as much luck making your outdoor spaces looking their best. Here is how to choose plants which are healthy and which will work well in the environment you have chosen from them.

While growing plants may seem to be very difficult it really doesn't have to be. While there are some plants that may have very specific requirements and which will die quickly if those requirements are not met, most flowers, trees and other vegetation will do well once you make sure that their three basic needs are met. One thing that is particularly important is light. It is light that is used for plants to photosynthesize and feed themselves.

Soil can range in quality from nutrient-dense to nutrient-scarce. There may also be differences in the pH or amount of acidity or alkalinity that is the earth. Some plants need specific conditions to be present in order to grow. If this is the case with the plants you are interested in, speaking with a nursery staff member may help you determine what products or substances you need to add to the soil in order to optimize plant growth.

You also need to know how much water your choices will need to do well and whether you need to add any nutrients to the hydration you are providing. A good nursery should have a variety of foods and fertilizers on hand that will keep your greenery healthy and beautiful all through the growing season.

Once you have this basic information you can then start looking at nurseries in order to find out which plants they have which will suit your needs and growing conditions. You may want to look online for plants which will do well in the conditions you have to offer and then start looking at nurseries to see if they have the specific types that you want to add to your yard.

Of course, not every nursery will have plants that you will want to add to your garden or landscape. If you visit a facility and the plants are unhealthy looking or they are infested with insects it might be a good idea to buy your specimens elsewhere. That way you know you are not introducing outside contaminants that could cause your garden to fail.

Once you have narrowed down your choices and are ready to make your final selection it may be worthwhile to speak with nursery staff. If you are able to discuss your soil conditions and lighting conditions with the staff prior to purchasing it. They may have suggestions about which varieties will be most suitable and give you tips and tricks for looking after them that the care instructions may not indicate.

Remember that the growing season is not the only time that you can visit a nursery. If you go during the off season it may be possible for you to find products that will help you keep your plants healthy and happy through the winter as well as helping you prepare your garden in the spring. There may also be seeds or house plants that you can work with in order to keep yourself surrounded by greenery and plant life.
