Everything about a Plant Nursery and tips to follow when visiting a plant nursery

A plant nursery is nothing but a place where plants or planting materials like seedlings, saplings, etc., are raised, propagated/bred, and multiplied for transplanting in prepared beds elsewhere. It is indeed an exciting place for a plant lover with endless plant varieties to discover. Whether you are starting to build your own personal garden or trying to improve an already established garden area or just want to get some plants for your home or workplace, a plant nursery is the place to be at. There are several plant nurseries in Singaporewith a wide variety of plants or planting materials available.

 

Here, we provide you with fourpro tips to follow when visiting a plant nursery in Singapore, which could help you select the best plant according to your needs:

 

·        Do your research

As a nursery has a wide variety of plants and planting materials available, choosing the best ones for you could seem daunting. Hence, it is preferred to do some research on the type of plants you want. For this, you can do a quick web search of the nurseries in your area. Many plant nurseries have good helpful websites with informative content on selecting the best plant for your landscape. You can even try calling the business to talk to a live person and clear things out.

 

·        Prefer the buds over the blooms

The buds would bloom once you have planted them in your garden/ allocated space instead of blooms, which carry a need for extra care while transplanting them to your place. Though it may look tempting to buy the already-bloomed flowers, however, the buds will give more colour to your own landscape.

 

·        Check the roots

While we look for healthy plants and buds, we need to be equally careful about the roots of the plant. We would not want to invest in a plant that is root-bound or has dense roots which would fill the flowerpot, leaving no or little room for them to expand. However, if you end up buying dense roots, use a knife to cut through the roots and loosen them before planting.

 

·        Prefer visiting on a weekday

If time allows, one should prefer visiting on a weekday as it would save one the wait and stress of making the right purchase amidst the rush. Also, the staff would probably be lesser available to answer any questions that one may have as they would be swamped with similar questions from multiple customers.

 

Conclusion

Since plants are the most important investment in building one’s own landscape, one should devote considerable time to looking for the best nurseries and arranging the best plants for one’s garden area/ green roof, vertical garden, or any landscaping area. One should carefully evaluate the needs one has in terms of the type and the number of plants and then use the above tips to shop like a pro in a plant construction company or a nursery nearby in one’s area and enjoy the experience.
