IT is useless to keep the plants in your garden which cannot survive in your climate. For example, you would like to keep a cactus in your home only if you live in a hot climate with less rains, otherwise it won’t survive for long, wasting your money. Thus choose the plants which you like in your neighborhood and have seen surviving beautifully.

What are the appropriate times of watering these plants?
How long it takes for them to grow or give fruits or plants?
What are the remedies to take if they catch any parasite?
What is the cutting technique of these plants?
Keep all necessary tools for gardening:
Every garden requires maintenance and will look like an ugly devastated forest if you do not spare sufficient time to maintain it. As mentioned before, if you know your plants, you should know the times to water them or to cut them. Thus you need to have garden cleaning items such as a brush, a lawn mower, a watering machine or water pipes, parasite sprays for seasons in which there is a danger of insects attacking certain plants etc. Make sure you know using every equipment or take help from a gardener.
