Garden basics

We have chosen to collaborate with Garden Basics WTM de Boer,  a major player in the world of horticulture. With more than 6 million plants grown on 110,000 m², Garden Basics offers a wide range of varieties, specially adapted to European gardens.

A reliable and proven choice for your garden
The plants selected by Garden Basics are well-known varieties among gardening enthusiasts, acclaimed for their hardiness and ability to thrive in all outdoor environments. They provide the confidence of choosing plants that have already proven themselves and that adapt easily to your garden. Each plant is guaranteed to grow beautifully in your space, giving you many years of satisfaction.

The Garden Basics collection brings together must-have plants for beginners and experienced gardeners to start or enhance your indoor and outdoor garden. To make the right choice, first identify your growing conditions: bright, shaded, or partial shade exposure indoors, and your garden or balcony orientation for outdoor plants.

Assess your experience level: beginners will prefer hardy plant varieties like pothos, snake plants, or geraniums, while experienced gardeners can explore more demanding species. Also consider available space and desired effect: air-purifying plants for your home, flowering plants for color, or structural plants to create volume.

Think about your watering habits and choose plants suited to your lifestyle. This collection offers the perfect balance between beauty, easy care, and diversity to satisfy every taste.

Understanding fundamental plant needs

Each plant in the Garden Basics collection has specific requirements for light, humidity, and nutrition. Tropical plants need high ambient humidity and stable temperatures, while Mediterranean plants prefer longer watering cycles and optimal drainage.

Acclimatization techniques

Adapting your new plants is crucial for their development. Place them in an environment progressively similar to their final conditions. Avoid sudden temperature or light changes that can cause plant stress.

Seasonal care calendar

Spring is the ideal time for repotting and resuming fertilization. Summer requires increased watering monitoring and protection from excess sun. Fall is the time for final nutrient applications before the winter dormancy period, when most plants slow their growth.

Prevention and natural solutions

Regularly observe your plants to detect early signs of stress or pests. A balanced environment with good air circulation and proper watering prevents most problems. Choose biological treatments like neem oil or natural beneficial insects.

What are the easiest plants in the Garden Basics collection?

Pothos, snake plants, spider plants, and geraniums are among the most resilient and easily forgive beginner mistakes. They adapt to various light conditions and tolerate occasional watering lapses.

Can you grow these plants indoors without a balcony?

Absolutely! Many Garden Basics plants thrive indoors near a window. Prioritize tropical plant varieties suitable for indoor growing and ensure sufficient light or supplement with artificial lighting.

How often should you water plants in this collection?

Watering frequency varies by species, season, and environment. Generally, water when soil is dry 2-3 cm below the surface. Succulent plants require less frequent watering than tropical plants.

How do you know if your plant lacks light?

Signs include: fading leaves, stems stretching toward the light source, slowed growth, and increased spacing between leaves. Move the plant closer to a window or add supplemental lighting.

When and how should you repot these plants?

Repotting typically occurs in spring when roots emerge from the pot or growth slows. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes and potting soil suited to each plant type.

Are these plants suitable for beginners?

The Garden Basics collection is specifically designed to include many varieties perfect for beginners. Start with the hardiest species and gradually diversify as your experience grows.
