To make sure your plants are healthy and taken well care of, we’ve added a few tips for you.

Trimming & fertilising

Regular trimming using a clean set of pruners helps for the healthy growth of the hedge plants by trimming the stems providing a fresh clean and helps to prevent plant diseases. Once this is done make sure you fertilize the Hedge Plants often to ensure they are receiving the nutrition needed to continue growing healthy and water them well after fertilizing too. When pruning and fertilizing, make sure you remember that the more you prune, the more the Hedge Plants will require fertilizing.

Watering

Often watering Hedge Plants can be tricky if you’re not sure how much water they do require, especially when different plants require different amounts of watering.
