How to care for your spring flowers

Quick Tips:

Before every new shrub is planted, mix a handful of Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food into the soil in the bottom of the planting hole. It will improve the quality of the soil as well as providing a source of organic slow-release nutrients to the plant as it starts to establish.
Feed orchids each week with easy to use, fast-acting Yates Thrive Orchid Liquid Plant Food to replenish their nutrient reserves as they continue and finish flowering.
Wet weather brings out snails & slugs which can quickly destroy vegies & flowers. Around ornamental plants use Yates Blitzem Slug & Snail Pellets.
New rose foliage and buds are a magnet for aphids. Protect with Yates Rose Gun Spray Ready to Use, which will kill aphids on contact.
Feed roses regularly with Yates Thrive Rose & Flower Granular Plant Food which will encourage healthy leaf growth as well as lots of lovely flowers.
Before planting out flower seedlings and potted colour, enrich the soil beforehand with handfuls of Yates Dynamic Lifter Organic Plant Food. It both nourishes and improves the soil and feeds the plants with organic slow-release nutrients. Healthy soil = healthy plants.
Spot spray weeds in garden beds with Yates Zero Rapid 1-Hour Action Weedkiller Ready to Use before they have a chance to take over.
