The horticulture and flower production specialists at ANZM recommend the following tasks in the field:

Breaking the ice crusts formed due to frost;

If water pockets have formed under the ice crusts, drainage is carried out by digging small trenches;

Repairing fences and gardening equipment;

Ensuring the stock of fertilizers and fertilizers;

Checking the irrigation system to prevent the risk of pipe or hose cracking, in case of accidental water leaks;

From the second half of the month, the fertilization procedure is applied to the shrubs and plants that remain green all year round;

Pruning shrubs that are expected to bloom in the summer, taking care to intervene to a lesser extent on those that have already formed flower buds;

Deciduous climbing plants, such as honeysuckle, need to be pruned and shaped;

Perennial plants need to be divided and moved before they start to produce new shoots;

Plants stored in enclosed rooms need to be lightly watered if the phenomenon of soil drying is noticed.
