Gardening tips & tricks

6x a happy Surfinia®

Most people adore greenery but aren’t a fan of actually taking care of their plants. ‘I do not have green fingers’ they say. Well, it’s your lucky day because the trailing Surfinia ® doesn’t require any type of green body parts! She’s an easy lady to satisfy and as long as you admire her once in a while, all she really needs is water and some flower food.

Mix & Match!

Plant multiple colours of Surfinia’s in the same pot for an inspiring mix. Discover our favourite combinations at www.surfinia-official.com/mixed-baskets

Pro tip, do a finger test!

Not sure whether your Surfinia® needs a drink? Put your finger in her soil to feel if it is still moist. If it is, she’ll be fine. Is it all dry? Give her a splash of water!

1. (S)Potted

Go and get your Surfinia® from April to July at the garden centre or florist in your neighbourhood. As soon as the frost is gone, she is ready to be potted or planted. Spoil her by adding coco coir and fresh soil.

2. Location, location, location

Surfinia’s are true sun worshipers. Hang, pot or plant her in a sunny spot. Surfinia’s love dancing and are at their best when hanging.

3. Thirsty trailer

Surfinia® doesn’t like wet roots but does prefer her soil to be moist. Put some hydro pebbles at the bottom of her pot, give her a splash of water every day and she’ll be surely satisfied.

4. Snacking soil

When you feed your Surfinia® once a week with liquid fertilizer, she’ll grow swiftly. When you purchase your Surfinia®, don’t forget to grab some high quality flower food on your way out. Did you know some fertilizers are especially for Surfinia®? But don’t worry as any other bedding plant fertilizer will also do.

5. Deadheading

Surfinia® is care-free and easy to maintain. She’ll drop her dead flowers all by herself, so deadheading is not a necessity. However, she will grow new flowers quicker once dead flowers are removed, so feel free to pick off some of the sad flowers that she didn’t shed yet.

6. Plantastic!

Is your Surfinia® doing fantastic and becoming a bit too big? It is either time to shop for a new pot or to trim her back to your preferred size. She’ll grow new stems with a fresh collection of flowers in no-time. Job well done!
