Nasturtiums are beautiful flowers that can transform your garden and make it prettier.
Meanwhile, there are a few things that don't allow them to thrive - so you should know about them in advance.
Let's make your flowers grow healthy and beautiful!
They dislike too much shade
Nasturtiums love sunshine. If they don't get enough sunlight, they might not grow as well or produce fewer flowers.
Don't water them too much
These plants prefer well-drained soil. If the soil stays too wet, it can cause the roots to rot and harm the plant.
Rich soil isn't always great
Nasturtiums actually like poorer soil. If the soil is too rich with lots of nutrients, they might focus on growing leaves instead of flowers.
Give them space
If you plant nasturtiums too close together, they might compete for space and not have enough room to grow properly.
Beware of pests
Sometimes, little bugs like aphids can munch on nasturtium leaves and slow down their growth.
Pruning matters
If you don't trim or prune your nasturtiums, they can become a bit unruly and may not grow as nicely.
Temperature stress can kill them
Very hot or very cold weather can stress nasturtiums and affect their growth.
Conclusion
Knowing about these things, you can grow a beautiful flower garden full of nasturtiums without any troubles. Keep your flowers happy, so they can make you happy in return!
