Jonathan Ya’akobi
With rising prices at the plants today, many home gardeners understandable temptation to seek centers less spectacular garden centers, and buy them at garden plants cheaper establishments. This is all very well, but like most things, is cheap, can be really expensive. Although cheap nursery plants are not necessarily bad, it must pass three tests before you consider buying a plant from him.
Plant Labels
Sign of professional nursery is that the plants are labeled correctly and clearly. It is important not only for the convenience of the client, but as an indication of how seriously the establishment of the plant is identification. Although the label may contain the common name of the plant, it must include its botanical name. Kennel, which is careless about its labeling must sell you the wrong plant! Remember that plants in their juvenile state can be difficult to identify by their appearance, and therefore a greater extent, the buyer, depends on the professionalism and integrity in the garden centers.
Weeds
Heavy infestation of weeds is clearly the sign of poorly run plant nurseries. More serious, although the potential nursery as a source of noxious weeds, particularly dangerous invasive type entering your garden centers. As a contractor, gardening and regular buyer of plants, I always ask whether the plants are grown in sealed environments, or in the garden soil. Remember that much cheaper for nurseries to grow plants in your garden soil, and then risk the dangerous weeds increased significantly. In connection with the weeds, cheap can mean disaster!
Quality plants
Plants that look like the poor are less likely to develop as successful examples of the garden centers, than those who seem in good shape. However, there can be nasty trap waiting for the unwary, because the beautiful appearance is not necessarily a sign of a decent plant. In contrast, the upper echelon of the sample, which is one that is disproportionately large for containers, must be confusing and nodulated root system, which may prevent it from escaping into the garden soil after planting. The plant, which grew into a container, should have long been in pots for a large, and is another sign of a bad job.
On the other hand, a small plant in a large container is also undesirable, as the roots of plants may be starved of air. Given that the retail price of plants is mainly depending on the size of the container, it follows that in such cases, the client receives the samples yield at inflated prices.
