"Balcony Gardening for Beginners: Step 7"
Step 7: Routine care tips:
• Deadhead flowers regularly to promote blooming and prune where needed at the right time of year, which will vary from plant to plant.
• Pinch back herbs to encourage fresh growth.
• Wipe down planters to remove dirt and stains.
• Keep your eye out for slugs, snails and other critters trying to hide under plant pots and around the sheltered sides that are out of the sun.
• Feeding: LECHUZA'S PERFECT VEGGIE fertiliser utilises special coating technology constantly releases the nutrients it contains over a period of 6 to 8 months and is therefore ideal for use in water reservoirs, without the risk of burning or over-fertilisation. This means you only have to fertilise once for an entire season! The vegetable fertiliser is suitable for all types of vegetables and herbs and is 100% vegan and harmless to animals and the environment. The high-quality nutrient formulation ensures healthy plant development and a rich harvest of excellent quality.
• Seasonally clean your planter’s reservoir to keep everything in tip top condition. Lechuza’s removable plant liners will greatly simplify this process, with minimum disruption to your prized plants.
