• Too much variety: Taking home just one or two of a particular plant makes your garden look hodgepodge. Three to six of a species will look much more unified and professional.
• Root-bound: If there are roots coming out of the bottom of the container – skip it. Tangled roots suffocate the plant and deprive it of nutrients.
• Waiting to plant: If you just stuck the plants where you plan to plant them, still IN their pots – that’s a mistake. Either get them into the ground or keep them in a shady, damp spot until you can.
If you haven’t bought all your plantings yet – it’s a good idea to take photos of the spots you’ll be sprucing up ahead of time. Those will be a handy reference to share with a professional at the nursery.
