1. *Know your plant's sun requirements*: Some plants need full sun (6+ hours of direct sunlight), while others prefer partial shade or full shade.
2. *Protect plants from extreme temperatures*: If you live in an area with very hot or cold temperatures, take steps to protect your plants (e.g., bring them indoors, use row covers).


# Fertilization
1. *Choose the right fertilizer*: Select a fertilizer that's balanced (e.g., 10-10-10 NPK) or formulated specifically for your plant type (e.g., high-phosphorus for blooming plants).
2. *Follow instructions*: Don't overfertilize, as this can damage your plants.


# Pruning and Grooming
1. *Prune plants regularly*: Remove dead or damaged leaves and stems to promote healthy growth and prevent disease.
2. *Deadhead flowers*: Remove spent blooms to encourage more flowering.
