Plant tip of the month

Now fully submerged into Autumn, plant care becomes much more manageable- thankfully! Your house plants will enjoy the bright sunny days ahead and the lower temperatures so all your really need to focus on is keeping them hydrated. Aim for once a week but make sure the soil is completely dry before topping up. Large leafed plants and ferns thrive from a spritz so incorporate this into your routine.

House plants bring us all so much joy and excitement when a new leaf peeps through so be sure to keep them happy & looking their best. Check out our Beautifying Leaf Shine Spray for the best looking leaves!

What's happening in the garden?

The garden has transformed in colour as we now embrace Autumn and the evenings definitely have a chill in the air. It's a month to lend some consideration to the wildlife outside that are preparing for the winter ahead. If possible, build a log pile and pop leaves & twigs in corners for them to gather and shelter in.

For your flowers: It's time to consider planting hardy annuals for next Summer; collect ripe seeds from your favorite flowers ready to plant in Spring and keep your Summer bedding deheaded & fed well to help them all thrive untill the first frost.

In terms of garden maintenance get ahead with the below tasks:

  • Pop netting across your ponds to prevent Autumn laves from falling in.
  • Check all tree ties and plant supports are firmly in place.
  • Clean out water butts and check downpipe fittings in preparation for Autumn rain.
  • Tidy up overgrown trees and shape Conifers.

With lots to trim back, take a look at our secateurs- the perfect companion for the next few months!
