Do Plants Need All-Day Sun?



Myth 1:
Every plant flourishes when exposed to intense sunlight throughout the entire day.

Reality: Nope! While sunlight is crucial, too much can be harmful. Most plants prefer a balance of sun and shade. Think of it like Goldilocks – not too much, not too little, just right!

Can My Plants Survive Without Fertilizers?

Myth 2: Plants can survive solely on water and love.

Reality: While love is essential, plants also need nutrients to thrive. Fertilizers provide those nutrients, but don't overdo it! Too much of a good thing can lead to nutrient overload. Click here to get your ideal fertilizer for your baby plants.

How Much Water is Too Much or Too Little?

Myth 3: Watering plants is just a guessing game.

Reality: Finding the right balance is key! Excess water can drown roots, while too little leaves plants thirsty. Check the soil by inserting your finger – if it's dry, go ahead and water; if it's wet, hold off for now.

Can I Compost My Veggie Scraps?

Myth 4: Veggie scraps belong in the trash, not the garden.

Reality: Think again! Your kitchen waste is a treasure trove for plants. Composting turns scraps into nutrient-rich gold for your garden. So, recycle those banana peels and carrot tops!

Indoor Plants Don't Need Sunlight

Myth 5: Indoor plants are like vampires – they thrive in the dark.

Reality: Wrong! Just like us, plants need sunlight to thrive. Place them near a sunny window or invest in some grow lights to keep them happy and healthy. Here are some cute planters that you might to add to your corners.

And there you have it, rookie gardeners – five myths busted and your green thumb ready to bloom! Remember, gardening is all about learning and having fun along the way. So grab your trowel, roll up your sleeves, and let's grow together.
