English Garden
 
Your English Garden will give you many months of pleasure if provided with some very simple care:
 

SUNLIGHT
 
Light is used by all plants to make food. Your garden needs bright diffused light to remain healthy. Avoid direct light. Direct sunlight generates heat, which will burn your garden.

WATERING
 
Be careful not to over water. Place a finger into the soil at several points. The feeling should be moist but not soggy. If soil feels dry, water.

FEEDING
 
While a plant makes food it needs supplements for a long life. Our own product, Oxygen Plus is a complete fertilizer and is formulated to prevent over watering, a common cause of indoor plant failure.

TRIMMING
 
Remove yellowed leaves promptly. Some plants may eventually outgrow a healthy garden. These may be transplanted to a larger container and replaced with a younger plant.

INSECT CONTROL
 
Check for pests while watering. Look under leaves and on the soil surface for insects. Any infestation should be treated promptly. Safer Insecticidal Soap is a good general purpose product that provides control for many common pests. We recommend that you identify the pest or disease and use a "safer" product that is formulated for that specific problem.
