Plant Care Guide

Supporting long-term vitality through thoughtful, brand-aligned horticultural care

This guide equips clients and team members with essential routines and tips to nurture landscape elements after installation. It balances simplicity with technical accuracy to uphold the health, rhythm, and visual integrity of your designs.

General Care Principles

  • Watering:

    • Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal

    • Deep soak weekly for established plants; more frequent shallow watering for new installations

    • Adjust based on climate and soil drainage

  • Pruning & Deadheading:

    • Remove faded flowers to encourage rebloom

    • Trim leggy growth and cross-branching to maintain form

    • Major pruning (shrubs, small trees) best done in dormant seasons

  • Fertilizing:

    • Use balanced, slow-release fertilizers for most ornamental plants

    • Edible zones may require seasonal boosts (nitrogen for leafy crops, potassium for fruits)

    • Avoid overfeeding to reduce pest attraction

  • Mulching & Soil Health:

    • 3–5 cm organic mulch layer around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds

    • Replace seasonally and avoid piling against stems or trunks

    • Light composting or topdressing in early spring or rainy season

  • Pest & Disease Management:

    • Regular leaf inspections for discoloration, chew marks, or sticky residue

    • Promote biodiversity—companion planting and pollinator species can naturally deter pests

    • Use eco-safe treatments when needed; spot treat rather than blanket spray
