When a treasured plant in your garden or landscape dies, it feels bad. It can lead some to believe that they do not have a green thumb. I know, because I have often felt this way. However, I later realized the challenge was more an issue of not having the necessary plant knowledge to care for particular plants.
Plant health is often an issue of location and watering.
According to Island Landscape, a licensed and insured landscape contractor in California and Hawaii, yellowing, drying, burning, bug infested or
dying plants may not be getting enough water or too much.
Find out or ask your professional gardener or landscape
maintenance company if problem plants are appropriate for the zone they are in
and getting the right amount of water. Adjust the the watering schedule for each as necessary.
If you need further help, a landscape maintenance
professional will be able to discuss and make plant recommendations based on
the plant type, weather patterns for the area, sun exposure and soil conditions.
Knowledge is key, so get the knowledge you need to appropriately water your plants.
