🌱 What Happens When Plants Are Dormant

Hey gardeners, Ken Lain The Top 10 Gardener here! What happens when plants go dormant? It's like they're taking a long winter's nap to recharge for the next growing season!

 

Deciduous trees lose their leaves in a beautiful autumnal display, while evergreens slow down their growth and conserve energy. Beneath the soil, roots are also taking a break, but they're still alive and active. Think of it as a time of preparation for the burst of growth and blooms that await in spring.

 

Learn how to care for your dormant plants, including proper watering and protection from the cold. And don't forget to fertilize those spring bloomers like forsythia and lilac now to encourage a spectacular show! With a little understanding and care, you can help your garden thrive through the winter months and emerge even stronger in the spring.
