Care Instruction

Watering

Most garden plants, flowers, and shrubs flourish when they receive at least 1 inch of water per week, although they may need more during hot, dry spells. In many parts of the country, there isn't always enough rainfall for plants to thrive, so don't count on it to keep your plants healthy.

Light

Blue light helps plants produce chlorophyll, the pigment they need to grow. It also helps encourage germination and root development in young plants and seedlings. Red light regulates plant growth and helps plants produce flowers and fruit. Green light helps maximize photosynthesis.Full spectrum sunlight is good for flowering plants.

Potting Mix

Soil falls into three main types - sand, clay and silt. Generally speaking, the best potting soil for growing flowers is an even mix of the three aforementioned soil types and is called sandy loam. This mix will ensure optimum growth conditions for most flowers. Yes, most flowers, but not all flowers.
