Planting flowers is a nice hobby and creative pastime. But to make the most of time and your seeds, and to make your look beautiful you need some proper guidelines. Without proper tips and guidelines you may end up with messing-up all your lawn, seeds, fertilizer and water. At beginning stages flower plantation you have to be more cautioned about the steps you take. Here are some ideas, tips and guidelines for the beginners on flower plantation
Selection of Location
At very first select your location. So select location where you want to plant the seeds. You must consider that what type of flowers you’re going to plant and what they need to grow better, they may more shade and little sunlight or it is all right to there is all time shade or they can bear the sunlight all the day. If you have some limited space then pick a flower that could grow better in those conditions.

Prepare the growing space properly. Till the soil deeper, flower roots go down deep in the soil. Use proper fertilizer and chemicals.
Water it as it should be. Take out all stones from the soil. Uneven distribution of fertilizer and chemical may affect the plants and flowers. Till the soil well, break down all big chunks. Do keep in mind which type of flower you’re going to plant and what type of tilling it needs. If it has a shallow root system then you have to till the soil shallow otherwise deep.
Choose A Healthy Plant
Make a wise decision while choosing a flower plant. Choose a healthy whose leaves are fresh. They plant must be free all sorts of fungi and infection and insects.
Foliage of the plant must be free from disease. Avoid the wilted ones.

Adequate amount on water keep it healthy and fresh. If you water your plants too much it would not produce flowers, larger amount of water would make them produce new leaves rather than flowers.

Keep your flowers and plants save from pest and disease. Use proper insecticides on it, on the right time.
Do not use very intense formula or in a very large quality, it may harm the plant as well. Pests destroy the flowers badly; it mostly attacks in springs when flowers are ready to bloom. Disease attack plants and destroy the plant respiration system which results in drying up of plants
