April Nourishing Brings May Flourishing

Taking care

Cut weak or hanging offspring several times a year without any hesitation, but make the cut above the leaves. Immediately cut dry branches or unnecessary offspring of Benjamin’s fichus. Remove completely green leaves of multicolored plants. By the end of the month you can move cacti to the terrace. But don’t put them in the direct sun from the very beginning. Let them acclimate in a semi-shady are, protected from rain.

About watering

The patter of watering depends on changes in temperature. Water plants every two days if the weather is hot. Use your finger to check the need of substrate for water. Water if the substrate is dry for 1-1.5 inches. Increase the humidity of the air during hot weather by spraying of water on leaves daily. Don’t spray water on plants that stand under direct sun light. They can suffer from burns because water drops can attract sun.

Protect the plants!

You should shade the terrace of the porch. Protect plants from direct sun light. Quite often, aphis attacks plants. Cut the sick leaves away, then apply insecticide three times in the interval of six days.
