| Most gardeners know that it takes more than just sunshine and water to produce a healthy garden. Without regular nutrients, growth slows, flowering is inhibited, and plants become vulnerable to pests, disease and air pollution. But what’s the best way to know exactly what each plant needs?
Plant Nutrition: High Performance Plant Foods, is part of a new series of informational brochures from Monrovia, one of the world’s largest growers of container plants. The series, available in garden centers nationwide, is designed to educate expert and novice gardeners alike. Each brochure addresses a different aspect of gardening, from pruning and watering to tips for designing your own garden.
A steady diet is the key to a beautiful blooming garden. It stimulates growth, promotes flowering and keeps plants healthier all year-round. Monrovia’s Plant Health brochure discusses the three main food groups that plants need for growth, and exactly how each nutrient works. There is a comparison of organic and synthetic fertilizers, and tips for determining the right combination of nutrients for specific plants.
