Garden Nursery

dry it off, here. Clean it up. You're going to want to plant it in a pot. Cover it up with your soil and then just wait. Now, most of these will germinate and grown

There are hundreds of plants at your local nursery . How do you know which ones are the best for you? I'm Justin Hancock from Better Homes and Gardens. I'm here today to help you pick the healthiest plants for your yard. There are 3 things you wanna look for when you're shopping for healthy plants . The first is stem strength. This flax is nice and upright. This one, kind of floppy. Chances are, if it's not holding up on the pot, it's not gonna hold up well in your garden. I would go with this one. The next thing you wanna watch for is to make sure you bring home disease-free plants . There's a lot of dalo leaves on the table and they all kind of look the same, but take a closer look, and you'll find that some are better than others. This leaf has a bunch of yellow spots. Spotted leaves are often a sign of disease. Plant this in your yard and you run the risk of spreading this disease to everything else you grow. I'd definitely pass this one by. Instead, look for plants with nice, healthy, evenly green leaves. The last thing you wanna watch for is to make sure your plant has a healthy root system. It's the most subtle, but most important. Start by carefully grasping all of the leaves and the stems in your hand so you can pull it out with a nice, even motion. Grip the pot and pull it out. If you can't get it, lay the pot on its side and carefully push around. This should help loosen it up. Then lift it back up and carefully pull it out. We can see this plant has some unhealthy rotten roots. Not a good buy. Let's take a look at another one. This Iris has very nice, light-colored healthy roots. This is a much better buy. This is the one that I would choose. So next time you're out plant shopping, remember these 3 easy tips; strong sturdy stems, disease-free leaves, and a strong healthy root system, and you can be sure

No, they're the same as every other plant . It's a huge mix of plants from perennials to ground covers, trees, and shrubs, just a lot of normal plants that people wouldn't think of as being more fire-resistant than others.

One of my favorite fire-safe plant is this one. It's called Lily of the Nile. Isn't it cool? It's quite a conversation piece in your garden. This is a heavy hearty plant . Looks like it could eat you. I like that.

When you shop for a fire-resistant plant , can get ones that flower?
