| Now that you picked out the best plants for your butterfly garden, you wanna learn more about them. Keep an eye on your plants for the first few weeks because you wanna make sure theyre getting ample sunlight or shade. Test out the waters before you dive; the best thing to do is leave them in pots and put them where you plan and see how they do. If they do well, plant em, if not move them elsewhere and begin again. And by all means, dont forget to water, unless the plant is drought tolerant, in which case like dry arid conditions and dont need water. Not watering is a sure fire way to kill your plants. Learn about pruning as well, as there are different ways for each plant. Most plants are SELF PRUNING and dont need clipped. |
