You can also seek help from the internet or a local nurseryman regarding the best-suited plants for your climate.

2. Soil

Next, you would have to till your soil by hands (wear gloves to avoid bacteria, disease or scratches).

Analyze your soil pH levels. If you are a beginner, seek help from a gardener to know which plant would be best suited for such soil and what fertilizers would be needed to boost the soil nutrients.

3. Sunshine

While planting, choose a spot wisely. You must know your plant characterstics if it is sun-loving or needs shade to breathe in. Mostly some plants need 6hrs of direct sunlight.

4. Water
