Are you thinking of having a beautiful garden? If so, you are sure to be eager to plant your plants, right? It is a joy to go to a nursery and take home some of those that from then on will be part of the home, but the truth is that if we land them early, unpleasant surprises could arise.
To prevent this from happening, we need to know what is the time to plant, be it trees, palm trees, flowers or any other type of plant.
It may surprise you, but spring is not the ideal time to plant any type of plants. It will depend on the type it is, its flowering and / or harvest time, as well as its origin. Thus, while for example the tulip bulb has to be planted in autumn / winter, it is advisable to plant Ficus in spring or even in summer.
To give you an idea of when they can be planted in the ground, here is a list of common plants with their ideal season to plant:
- Deciduous trees and shrubs: The arces, beech, Prunus and others are planted in autumn or early spring.
- Evergreen trees and shrubs: early spring; except if they are tropical (Rubber plant, pachira, Delonix, etc.) to be done in spring or summer.
- Spring bulbous: Like the tulips, hyacinths or daffodils they are planted in autumn.
- Summer bulbous: like the Rattan, Amaryllis or begonias, are planted in late winter / early spring.
- Horticultural: in general, in spring, but there are some like the garlic or onions which are planted in winter.
- Flower plants: Like the geraniums, thoughts or marigolds, are planted in spring.
- Palms: in spring (March / April in the northern hemisphere).
