  • Perennial plants are generally not evergreen and lose their leaves in winter. They are not a plant that stays green all year round. It is therefore advisable to replace them annually or protect them from frost.

    Bedding plants are generally not very cold-hardy and often can't withstand frost well. They need protection during cold temperatures and are best brought indoors during the winter months. It is important to care for bedding plants properly and protect them from severe frost.

    Perennial plants are generally easy to maintain and require minimal care. They thrive in sunlight and should be watered regularly. Remove wilted flowers regularly to keep the plant healthy.

    Perennial plants generally need enough space to grow and bloom, so it is important to plant them about 20-30 cm apart. Also, make sure the soil is well-drained and receives enough sunlight. Larger varieties may require more space to fully develop.

    Perennial plants generally grow better in full sun. It is important to give them at least 6 hours of sunlight per day for optimal growth. In the shade, perennial plants may not thrive as well and may produce fewer flowers.

    Garden plants generally need water 1-2 times a week. This can vary depending on the size of the plant and the weather conditions. It is important to keep the soil moist, but not to overwater to prevent root rot.

    Yes, bedding plants like Marigolds and Lavender are often attractive to butterflies and bees due to their nectar-rich flowers and fragrant scents. It is important to have these plants in your garden to attract these helpful pollinators. They can help with pollinating other plants and flowers.

    Yes, bedding plants are good for biodiversity because they attract bees, bumblebees, and butterflies with their flowers. They serve as an important source of food for these insects and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity in the garden. In addition, bedding plants can also be useful for birds looking for seeds or insects.

    Perennial plants usually bloom from spring to fall, depending on the species. The blooming period can vary from a few weeks to several months. It is recommended to regularly remove the faded flowers for a longer blooming time.

    Perennial plants can generally tolerate full sun, but they also need occasional shade to prevent them from getting burned. It is important to water the plant regularly during hot and dry periods. Proper care and adequate watering help to keep the plant healthy.

    No, bedding plants are not edible. They are primarily decorative plants used to brighten up gardens and flower beds. It is not safe to consume them.

    Yes, potted plants have a limited sound-absorbing effect due to their leaves and stems. However, the effect is not as strong as with other plants such as bamboo or pine trees. It is advisable to place multiple plants for a noticeable sound-dampening effect.

  • Garden plants need to be pruned regularly to promote growth and keep the plant healthy. Remove dead or damaged branches and trim flowers regularly to encourage the plant to produce new blooms. Make sure to use sharp pruning shears to minimize damage to the plant.

    Garden plants need regular watering, especially during warm and dry periods. It is important to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Check the soil moisture regularly by feeling it with your fingers or using a moisture meter.

    Potting soil is important for the growth of garden plants. This soil contains nutrients and ensures good drainage. It is recommended to regularly replace the potting soil for optimal growth.

    Good soil quality is essential for garden plants such as bedding plants, as it affects the growth and health of the plant. A fertile soil with enough nutrients, good structure, and sufficient moisture is ideal for these plants to thrive. It is therefore important to regularly check the soil and, if necessary, fertilize or improve it.

    Garden plants thrive best in a sunny or lightly shaded location in fertile, well-draining soil. It is important to water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods. Make sure there is enough space between the plants for them to grow well.

    Non-hardy garden plants can benefit from winter protection. This can include covering the plants with a layer of leaves or straw. Make sure to also protect the plants from frost and wind.

    To keep the plant healthy, it is important to water it regularly, especially during dry periods. Remove dead flowers regularly to promote growth. Give the plant regular feeding to provide it with the necessary nutrients.

    Garden plants need regular feeding in the form of fertilizers to stay healthy. Use a general fertilizer with a balanced ratio of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Fertilize the plants according to the instructions on the packaging, usually several times per season.

    Mulch is a layer of organic material placed around the plant to cover the soil and retain moisture. It protects the roots from extreme temperatures and helps prevent weed growth. Mulch can consist of materials such as wood chips, straw, or leaves.

    Most bedding plants grow best in soil with a neutral acidity, around a pH of 6.5 to 7. It is important to test the acidity of the soil before planting bedding plants to ensure they can grow and bloom optimally. Adjusting the pH of the soil can be done by adding lime or fertilizers.

    To control pests in garden plants, you can use natural enemies such as ladybugs and predatory mites. Additionally, you can also opt for organic pesticides like neem oil or pyrethrum. It is important to regularly check the plants for pests and take action if necessary.
