Care to take after returning from vacation:
- With pruning shears, cut off faded or rain-damaged flowers.
- Refresh overly long branches that stick out.
- Remove yellow leaves inside shrubs, impatiens, and geraniums.
- Generously water pots and planters that lack water.
- Empty saucers that are soaked with rain.
- Pierce containers with non-existent or insufficient drainage.
- Remove weeds that have grown in the pots.
- Scratch the top of the pots to loosen and aerate the substrate.
- Wash pots covered with green algae.
- Feed your plants with granular or liquid fertilizers, for example, to make a chlorotic lemon tree green again.
- Hang up the branches of the cucumber and tomato plants grown in a container.
- Spray a natural black soap insecticide on all pots. Start again three days later in case of aphid invasion.
- Pick up the dead leaves that line the floor of your terrace.
- Inspect the irrigation network: seals, guns, taps, and programmers. Adapt the flow for the next few days.
In the space of a week, your plants will regain all their splendor!
