Getting some nursery plants can really brighten up your yard or your garden. If you're like me, you don't really have time to tend to plants in their infancy. Saplings and sprouts can be very difficult to take care of, and more importantly, they take a lot of time. When most plants are just starting out, you have to make sure that the conditions are perfect. The soil needs to be at just the right acidity, they need to receive enough water but not too much, they need to have the perfect temperatures, and so on.
Because of all the work that goes into these early stages of plant rearing, getting a nursery plant can really be a lifesaver. This is especially true with trees. Trees live for a long time, but when they are first starting out, they are notoriously fragile. Even a squirrel can be the undoing of a sapling. Besides being dug up, they can succumb to a wide variety of different bugs. When you buy nursery trees, you have far less worries. The plants are already grown up enough that they are unlikely to be killed by some pest or bad conditions. Best of all, trees and the other nursery plants are pretty reasonably priced.
Of course, sometimes it is nice is just to grow things by yourself. This is especially true if you have a little bit of room indoors. Growing indoors saves a lot of time and effort. Although most plants do not grow quite as fast and doors, you have a much better chance of success particularly if you don't have a lot of time to tend them. Indoor nursery plants can not succumb to insects, late frosts, excessively high temperatures, and all the rest of it. Because they are protected from the worst of the elements, they are at least twice as likely to survive
Some of the heartiest nursery plants are bulbs. Bulbs are what are known as perennial plants. This means that, rather than dying at the end of the season, they simply go into a form of hibernation. Although the stem dies off, the plant itself survives. Usually, it even produces new bulbs! The only downside is that you need a fair amount of space to grow them. They need to be able to put their roots deep into the ground, so if you're using pots instead of putting them in the yard, you need to use some pretty big pots!
