Compro Planta “Rara” …. y Trasplanto Cositas Baratas de Supermercado

Ah, Sundays! The perfect day for getting our hands dirty in the garden or tending to our terrace. Whether you’re watching a plant care video or buying some new plants, there’s simply no better way to spend the day. Today, I treated myself to some new additions to my garden. I even shared my journey on Instagram!

Exciting Additions: From Rose Transplants to Rare Plants

Among my hauls was a root ball of a rosebush that, honestly, looked like it was having a bad hair day. With its weird appearance and a mysterious wax coating, I was skeptical. However, I’m here to share some tips about rose care. Though I owe you a complete care guide in another video, let’s dive into my latest adventures with these beautiful flowering plants.

A New Discovery: The Hardenbergia Violacea

This week, I stumbled upon a plant I’ve never seen before—a charming little thing from Australia called Hardenbergia violacea, known for its delightful blooms reminiscent of orchids. Can you believe this? I’m excited to give it a home in my terrace garden!

Planting Techniques and Care Guidance

As I prepare to plant, I reflect on the importance of understanding our garden’s climate. This week, as I create videos explaining plant placements according to sun exposure—be it north with wind or south with glaring sunlight—I’d love to hear from you! What’s the orientation of your outdoor space? Share your gardening challenges so I can tailor my recommendations!

Choosing the Right Soil

For my rosebush and new Hardenbergia, I bought universal potting soil mixed with pine bark for drainage. This combination is crucial for allowing water to run through without suffocating the roots. I also often use coco coir substrate; it has fantastic moisture-retaining properties while offering excellent aeration!

Rose Transplanting Tips

• Always transplant roses in early spring or late winter to give them a good start.
• Before you transplant, ensure the roots are well-hydrated. Soaking them in water before planting can help.
• Avoid extreme temperatures; transplanting during a heatwave can stress your plants!

Setting Up Your New Plants

When removing the plant from its pot, I carefully disentangle its roots from the substrate. A technique I’ve found useful is to wiggle with minimal force to avoid breaking roots. I prefer to keep some of the existing soil as it helps them adapt to their new environment.

The Importance of Watering

After planting, it’s essential to give your new friends a good watering while ensuring the excess can drain properly. Plants need to feel cozy but not waterlogged. Trust me, this step is vital for keeping your plants thriving!

Terrace Gardening: A Creative Space

As I look out at my terrace, I envision vibrant colors and varied textures from the plants I’ve chosen. Mixing different flower types helps create dynamic visuals while providing habitats for garden friends. For instance, the stunning hues of my Hardenbergia violacea and classic roses bring joy to my garden setup.

Seasonal Planting Considerations

Remember that planting seasons vary across different climates. For those of you in warmer regions, early spring might yield the best results, while cooler climates would benefit from planting in late summer to get the most from blooming plants.

Sharing is Caring: Your Gardening Journey

I’m curious about your plant purchases! Did you find something special this weekend? Whether it’s a rare plant or a cheap supermarket find, every addition to our gardens brings more life. Let’s share our discoveries and grow together!

Conclusion

With each planting, we cultivate not just our gardens but also our patience and affection as gardeners. Here’s to more Sundays filled with planting, creating, and nurturing our green spaces. Thank you for joining me on this horticultural journey—let’s cultivate beauty together, one plant at a time!
