There are many reasons why your plants and flowers might not be growing. Here are three reasons, from DealDash.

Gardening can be a fun activity and favorite hobby. Sometimes people have a hard time growing plants and other people have a green thumb. Regardless if you are good at growing plants or not, you can learn how to grow plants fast. There may be some reasons that you are not aware of that may be stopping you from growing plants. Here are three, from DealDash.

Watering

Plants need watering on a daily basis, but sometimes you can water them too much or too little. When you have too much water it can cause the plants to have poor roots and weak branches. When you don’t have enough water for your plants, it can cause restrictive growth. It is best to water your plants at the roots early in the morning, or in the evening as the sun is setting. This is also the best time to water your lawn as well.

Not Enough Fertilizing

If you find that your plants are not growing fast enough or if their leaves are dying your plant is most likely not getting enough nutrients. To prevent the lack of nutrients, you should fertilize your plants every third time you water your plants. If your plants are in a garden, you should fertilize them once a month. It is best to use slow release fertilizers because they are environmentally friendly. You can find a large selection at a place like Lowe’s. If you would like to shop for your fertilizer at Lowe’s, be sure to stop by DealDash first and win or BIN (Buy It Now) a gift card. 

Not Enough Sunlight

The sun is a crucial part of a plants growth. Sunlight gives your plants energy and will help them produce beautiful flowers.  Plants that need only a little bit of sunlight need about four hours of sunlight a day. Plants that need sunlight full-time should have at least six hours of sunlight a day. If your plants do not receive enough sunlight, they will look weak and also look unhealthy. Getting enough sunlight for your plants is very important. If you see that your plants aren’t getting enough sunlight you might want to think about moving them to a different area of your garden.
