Planting From Containers


Tips For Planting From Containers into the Northeast Florida Landscape from S & J Tree Farm and Nursery


Planting your new container grown plants into your
Northeast Florida landscape has it’s share of challenges. I have noticed over the years of helping people with their plant questions and problems, that we
 all tend to have difficulty with the same things! Florida is unique in an of itself, so it is no wonder that gardening here is unique as well. So if you are new to gardening, don’t be afraid to dig in and get growing, hopefully with these few basics under your belt, your landscape will get off to the best start possible. Or if you are a garden veteran from a cooler climate zone, with just a little bit of tweaking, your green thumb will be as happy in Florida’s sandy soils as it was anywhere else in our beautiful nation!

  Things to Consider Before Planting From A Container into the Northeast Florida Landscape

There are allot of factors that can affect your plants overall
health. The soil it is planted in, the amount of sunlight it gets each day, how much water it receives, how long that water sits in the soil after rains or irrigating, and how much exposure to wind or cold winter temperatures
your plant will receive all have an effect on your plants overall health and vigor. Click the link above for more information on things to consider before planting your container grown plants into the landscape.
