People are spending more time at home this year, and many homeowners want to make an oasis of their own without leaving the yard. If home gardening is your next stay-at-home activity, make sure you buy your plants from a knowledgeable nursery. The staff will be able to guide you to varieties that fit your property's unique characteristics and provide advice to help them thrive.

Nursery Tips for the Best Plant Purchase

1. Choose Plants That Best Fit the Hawaii Environment

While you may prefer a particular type of plant for aesthetic reasons, it may not be the best selection based on the Hawaiian environment. For plants to thrive, the surrounding environment must be amenable to their needs. A nursery that specializes in native Hawaiian plants will understand that they require certain elements to ensure they remain viable. The team will point you in the right direction when it comes to plant selection based on your home garden's characteristics and your gardening experience.

2. Ensure Proper Care

nurseryOnce you've selected the right plants for your garden, your nursery should also provide information on how to care for them properly. It's not always as easy as sunlight and watering; some plants may require a deeper level of care once they are situated in your home. The nursery's staff should be very knowledgeable about the unique needs of each native plant. They can provide specific care tips that can help your choices thrive in their new home. 

3. Prevent Disease & Other Pests

A nursery should also provide information on how to keep your plants free of diseases and common pests. These can ravage a garden and destroy all the hard work and care you put into your oasis. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate damage from occurring, and a good nursery will prepare you for any issues before you get your new plants home.
