How to grow flowers
1Dig a hole. If you are planting flower seeds, you will need to dig a hole, only 5-8 cm deep and the same width. Transplanted potted plants require a hole as deep as the bulb. Flowers do not need to be buried deep in the soil, so there is no need to dig a deep hole.
2Move out your flowers. This step is mainly for transplanting potted flowers. While the flowers are still in the plastic pot, water vigorously to break up the soil. Then, pull the flower out of the pot and gently separate the bulbs with your fingers. This will help the flowers roots grow into the soil rather than being confined to a clod. 
3Feed your flowers. Giving flowers some slow-release nutrients (similar to fertilizer) will help new plants grow quickly. At the bottom of each hole, add a few tablespoons and gently use your fingers to mix it in with the soil. 
4 Plant flowers. Plant each plant in a separate hole prepared for it. Use your hands to fill the empty space of each flower hole with soil and cover the top of the bulb. Avoid adding more soil on top of the flowers; the stems of the flowers should not be buried in soil.
DIY Tips
- When you buy a plant, bring a piece of white paper and place it under the leaves. Shake the plant gently. If it has holes or leaves that are rotting and falling off, don't buy the plant as it will infect other plants in the garden.
- Even if your soil looks fine (black, has a few bugs, not too sandy and not too sticky), it doesn't hurt to add a little compost to the planting area to conserve moisture and add nutrients.
- If you have pets, add enclosures and barriers to the planting area to prevent them from trampling on newly planted flowers.
- Do not use grass fertilizer on flowering plants and shrubs as it will make the foliage too green and delay flowering. Grass fertilizers have the same ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus, so for flowers, don't use a 10-10-5 or 14-14-5 fertilizer.
Notes
- Follow the directions on the small plastic markers. Specifically, make sure the flower is planted in sun or shade, depending on what it needs.
- Some flowers are poisonous to people and pets, so unless you are sure, keep children and pets away from this plant.
