Before plants that have spent the winter in the conservatory are allowed outside again, they need an all-round check.
March is the month to start thinking about spring cleaning. However, we don't mean the one in the house, which is also important, but has nothing to do with plants. This means the spring cleaning in the conservatory or in the greenhouse.
Many plants overwinter there that are not hardy and are just waiting to finally be allowed to go outside again. Before you get there, you should do an all-round check:
- Check the plants for pests. If you discover any, be sure to fight them in good time before the young buds are affected.
- It is best to repot overwintered plants if they are not going to be replanted in the bed. Alternatively, you can also replace the top layer of soil. This is how the plant gets new nutrients.
- Dried twigs are cut off, crowns should only be cut shortly before the new shoots.
A few little tips that the plants will gratefully accept and make them bloom again.
