🍂 Evergreen vs. deciduous – what's the difference?

The main difference between evergreen and deciduous plants lies in the behavior of their leaves throughout the year. Evergreen plants retain their green leaves throughout the seasons, allowing for a perpetually green and fresh landscape. In contrast, deciduous plants shed their leaves during the fall or winter, only to regrow new foliage in the spring. While deciduous plants provide changing seasonal beauty, evergreen plants provide aesthetic stability and permanence in the home and garden landscape.

🍃 Popular evergreen plant types:

  • Totem Cypress – an evergreen coniferous tree, ideal for hedges or as an impressive addition to the landscape.

  • Olive tree – a beautiful evergreen tree with an authentic Mediterranean appearance, especially suitable for gardens and balconies.

  • Blue-green oak – a large shrub or small evergreen tree, with bluish-green leaves and reddish bark, suitable for a hedge.

  • Climbing jasmine – an evergreen climbing plant that produces fragrant white blooms for many months.

  • Rosemary – a popular evergreen herb, easy to grow and has fragrant foliage and small, blue flowers.

🌱 Tips for caring for evergreen plants:

  1. Proper watering: Evergreen plants love well-drained soil, it is important to avoid overwatering.

  2. Pruning and maintenance: Prune lightly to encourage healthy, dense growth.

  3. Location: Adjust the plant's location to the sun and shade conditions in the garden or balcony.

  4. Fertilization: Fertilize in the spring and fall to maintain the vitality of the plant.

🌿 Decorative and practical uses:

Evergreen plants are a perfect solution for permanent design of balconies, gardens, and outdoor areas. They blend in wonderfully with seasonal flowering plants, creating a green and relaxing backdrop.

With the help of evergreen plants, you can ensure that your garden remains green, vibrant and beautiful all year round. Plant, care for and transform your home into a green paradise! 🌲✨
