There are a number of mistakes people make when planting and wonder when nothing grows or when it dies. We want to clear up three plant mistakes here:
- Put flowers from the pot deeper into the ground. This is wrong! A plant is usually placed just as deep in the ground as it is in the pot in the ground. Exceptions prove the rule: some roses and clematis are actually planted a little deeper. But all the other plants don't tolerate it, they could suffocate.
- Stamp the soil nicely after planting. That's wrong too! The soil should be as loose as possible so that the plants can establish themselves well. In addition, newly planted plants should be sludged. This allows them to make better contact with the ground.
- Always add peat when planting, it never hurts. That too is wrong! Because it can very well do harm. Peat makes the soil acidic and most plants cannot tolerate that. It is better to loosen the soil well, so the plant gets more of it.
Admit it, you did one or two things wrong. Until now, because now you know.
