Build your own dream garden at home is not easy. Therefore, many people trust a landscaper to do the job. However, if you would like to be creative and take a time to learn, you can really make a beautiful garden at home with your own hand.
Before deciding to build a garden, you have to consider what the themes of your home. Make sure the themes match with your garden themes. For example, if the house is minimalist, then create a garden with the same themes.
Well, the next step is to clean the yard. Typically in newly built houses, a lot of scattered trash or waste such as building rubble, paint cans, or plastic. So, before “dress up" the garden, make sure all the trash has been swept clean.
Note the condition of your soil
In fact, define the patterns of soil on the yard should also be taken into account. And, this is the next trick you should apply. Do you want a contoured hill garden, flat land, multilevel, or mixed? But remember, everything must be according to your needs.
Afterwards, do not forget to pay attention to the soil conditions and moisture. Is your soil is fertile or not? If the soil is fertile well, you no longer need to add the loose soil. However, if you have to add to it, you can get good quality and fertile soil in the plant shop in the area you live.
You have to understand what fertile soil. A lot of people think that fertile soil is colored brown or red. In fact, suitable fertile soil for flowers is in black; while the brown or red ones are more suitable for fruits.
Select The Right Plants
Garden without plants is certainly not complete. Therefore, you are required to bring the concept of garden plants with desirable. For example, big plants such as palm tree are more suitable for tropical garden themes. As for the minimalist garden, the opposite applies.
You should also pay attention to the nature of the plant. Is the plant in accordance with the weather conditions of your living area? If not, as the development of the plant (from the growth, leaf and flower color, etc.), the park becomes unsightly.
For the grass, it’s suggested using a mini elephant grass. This type of grass is the most favorite ones. As time goes, the grass will not grow. Just do not ever grow grass under a green tree. To limit the lush trees with garden try to limit it by stepping in order to look more beautiful garden and tidy.
Set The Placement
Talk about the types of flowers , the ones which is great for planting in your garden , is a type of flower that cannot growth be too high ( maximum 30 cm ). An example is an herbaceous plant, Cordyline. This plant looks like Gardenia just this one is in yellow - white color and Rulia in pink, white, and blue.
After knowing which plant to choose, you need to identify the plant growth process. The reason is, the speed of growth of each plant is different. Kana for example, even purchased in tiny size, it is growing fast. So, don’t be wrong by placing it in the middle. After some time, this flower grows quickly and then will cover the other flower behind it.
Planting palm also should not be arbitrary. Note the hole and soil conditions. Before planting, place some used sand and debris in the hole. The function is, the roots of palm can hold on to the sand and debris so that when the wind blowing, the palm will stay strong in upright position.
In addition, note how to plant it. If a palm -sized about 6 meters, the hole must be a minimum height of 50 cm with a mixture of sand and debris as high as 20 cm. The base of the palm also should not be planted too deeply so that the roots do not rot and die.
Intensive Care
Intensive care are needed, especially for newly planted crops. First, consider which plants need more water, which is not.
For example, Sansevieria plants cannot be watered too much. For big and tall plants (like palm), flush the tree from the top of the tree down to the ground with plenty of water. The goal, the trees do not adapt to dehydration due to their roots and still have not grown new roots.
You can also use a practical sprinkle irrigation system. Notes, it must be careful in placing it. If not, then the water will not be maximized watering plants (sometimes plants in the corner will not be hit). For example, for a 200 m2 of land, there must be a minimum of three sprinkle so that all the plant get watered.
Second, make use of fertilizers and pesticides at least once every three months. Try using an environmentally friendly fertilizer, instead of chemical-based. Third, pay attention to weeds that grow after three days of planting.
Add some decors
You can beautify the garden with the use of stepping. In addition, there are also rocks, walls, ponds or fountains. Make sure the design is attractive and match, so that the garden more beautiful.
Apply a more natural way when creating stepping, so that you can get better water absorption and environmentally friendly.
The lighting system should also be laid right leads into the garden, not to the house. For large trees (such as palm or coconut oil), place it just under the light and leads to the top of the tree. By doing so, the park not only look beautiful in the daytime, but also at night.
