Nourishing the soil: feed your plants

Organic compost is the perfect food for your soil and plants. Adding compost at this time of year provides your plants with the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. Additionally, fertilizing plants with a balanced fertilizer will help boost their development and strengthen their resistance against diseases and pests.

Bringing plants outdoors: watch out for frosts

In areas where the risk of frost has diminished, it's time to bring indoor plants such as geraniums outdoors. However, keep a vigilant eye on the weather conditions and protect them from any sudden changes in climate that may put them at risk.
