Often sick: what plants should not be planted in your garden

In spring, the active season of gardening begins. Flowers bloom, new green shoots appear, and many people want to add something new to their green corner.

However, before you buy seedlings, it is important to know which plants are not recommended for your garden. Some of them may be susceptible to disease, harm other plants, or simply not suitable for your climate. This was written by vikna.tv.

Here are 4 plants to avoid in your garden:

1. Horse chestnut:

• In the southern regions, this tree can grow and bloom well.
• However, in cool and humid climates, it often suffers from fungal diseases.
• Treatment of the horse chestnut is complicated: the tree needs regular cleaning, collection of affected leaves and branches, and soil treatment.

2. Stamp goat willow:

• This tree can be ornamental, but it is also susceptible to a fungal disease called rust.
• Rust not only spoils the appearance of the willow, but can also spread to other plants, such as roses.

3. Phlox:

• These popular flowers need careful maintenance.

• After planting, phloxes are often affected by powdery mildew, which requires ash treatment.
• For abundant flowering and disease prevention, phloxes need regular care.

4. Juniper:

• Juniper, like the standard willow, can be affected by rust.
• This disease is dangerous not only for the juniper itself, but also for other fruit trees (pear, apple) and mountain ash.
• Rust spores are easily carried by the wind, so even junipers planted far from other plants can pose a threat.

Remember that the right plants are the key to a beautiful and healthy garden.

Before planting something new, carefully research the plant's characteristics and make sure it is suitable for your climate and soil.
