Troubleshooting
Flowers appearing sparse or small
This is often due to a lack of sunlight or insufficient soil nutrients. Ensure they are in a sunny spot and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Yellowing leaves
Usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure your soil is not retaining too much water and check that your pots have drainage holes.
Plants wilting suddenly
Check the soil moisture immediately. If the soil is dry, water thoroughly. If the soil is wet, the plant may be suffering from root rot due to lack of drainage.
Preparation: Upon arrival, ensure your planting site is cleared of weeds and the soil is loosened.
Planting: Place plants in holes deep enough to accommodate the root ball, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the soil surface.
Spacing: Space plants approximately 15-20cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
Maintenance: Regularly remove faded or dead flowers (deadheading) to encourage the plant to put energy into producing new buds rather than seeds.
Compatibility: These pansies pair well with spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils or tulips, which can be planted beneath them for a secondary display later in the season.
