Common plant mistakes to avoid:

Overwatering: This can lead to root rot in many popular plant varieties. Strike a balance and water your plants when the soil feels dry to the touch.

Fertilising: Trust us, your plants will love you for it! We can’t recommend our Liquid Plant Food or Slow-Release Garden Booster more if you want thriving plants.

Lighting: It’s crucial to understand your plants’ light requirements. Placing them in the wrong lighting conditions, such as keeping sun-loving plants in the shade or vice versa, can be more detrimental than neglecting to water them.
