What Are the Benefits of Plant Starters?
Acquiring new plants as tiny, fully formed specimens and watching them grow is highly rewarding. Plant starters are becoming an increasingly popular method to buy plant collections for several reasons:
- They are affordable: Plant starters are more affordable than large mature plants, so they are an excellent way to buy rare and collectible plants.
- They provide instant results: Growing plants from seed is labor-intensive and requires a lot of patience. It may also be hit-and-miss, as seeds may not germinate as expected, which is disappointing and wastes a lot of time. Purchasing plant starters from Orange Lake Nursery means you will receive sturdy, fully-formed plants with developed root systems. All you need to do is pot the small plants and watch them grow.
- The plants are healthy: Since plant starters grow in individual containers, they develop robust root systems, which makes them easier to transfer into larger pots.
- You can enjoy more variety: Many plant varieties are available as starters at Orange Lake Nursery. Since they cost less than fully grown plants, they are an excellent way of creating mini-collections of rare and unusual varieties that will grow and become impressive features in your space.
