Most common mistakes that gardeners make

• Most of the inexperienced gardeners do not have any ideas about how much water to provide to their plants. Your plant will never have enough growth if you fail to provide the right amount of water. Not watering enough and drawing them in water, both can be equally harmful. One majorly important thing to keep in mind is, the roots need to be watered, not the leaves of the plant.
• The growth of a plant gets highly influenced by the zone where it is being kept. Most inexperienced gardeners fail to choose the right spot to plant or to choose the spot to keep their plant. It’s necessary to choose a spot that will have plenty of sunlight but also a bit of shade because sometimes, direct exposure to sunlight can be harmful for the plant. This can be considered as the prime reason why it is necessary to read the descriptions carefully given in the catalog every time you buy a new plant for your collection.
• Apart from all these, it’s also necessary to test the soil PH level before you start planting, which most of the newbies usually don’t think about. If the PH level is 7.0, then it means that the soil is natural and you can start planting without any worries.

Do not make the above mentioned mistakes if you wish to create your dream garden around your favorite spot. However, it would also be a good decision if you can continue under the careful guidance of an experienced gardener and know about some more dos and don’ts in this regard before you start planting.
