Beautiful,Spring,Flowers

Spring 2024 is finally here, and the winter snow and slush have thawed, giving way to grass and more ground cover. This means it’s time to prepare your spring home garden and revitalize your lawns and gardens. At EVO, we encourage our residents to keep their surroundings clean and welcoming. You can keep houseplants, customize the backyard, or tweak the interior décor. Our team will take care of the outdoor gardening for you, and here are some of the best home gardening spring apartment trends we keep in mind:

Garden Must Do’s

If you have a home garden, spring is the perfect time to prepare for the late blooms that will characterize your space. There are many things to do, from cleaning weeds, dead leaves, and fallen branches to clearing the bird feeders, pruning shrubs and trees, and starting a compost pile. You should also replenish your soil with organic fertilizer, plant flowers and vegetables, fill gaps/patches, and tend your lawn. Prepare your garden tools and lawn mower, and get to work. One of the advantages of apartment living is that you don’t have to get your hands dirty with gardening work. We’ll take care of everything. Simply restock your houseplants with colorful spring varieties, and you’ll be good.

Spring Garden & Care

Preparing and maintaining a spring garden should be easy once you know what to do. Start by inspecting every level (top, middle, and lower) of your land. This includes checking the trees and shrubs and paying attention to limbs and high-risk trees with cracked branches, pests, and diseases. Remove last year’s foliage and add it to your compost pile. Don’t forget the hardscape areas like fences, pathways, and steps, which may have been impacted by freezing and thawing. Prepare new beds, plant from bare roots, fertilize your garden, and add mulch. Fortunately, our apartment living gardening team will handle all these aspects at EVO. You can also consider spring container garden ideas to spruce up your lawn.

The Evo Apartments in St. Petersburg, Florida, offer residents a resort-like experience with a lap pool with immersed sun shelves and a view of the mountains of the stunning city. These apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows that make it easy to grow an indoor garden. The balconies are also large enough to facilitate an outdoor herb and spice garden.

Picking the Best Plants for your Home

The best plants for your desert apartment will be the ones that are self-watering plants. These include:

  • Aloe Vera, which only needs to be watered monthly
  • Bamboo, which can go months without watering
  • Spider Plants are best hanging from a basket in direct sun in front of a window
  • Snake Plant, which can go weeks without watering and tolerate low light
  • Succulents, which need low light and can go months without being watered

Where to Place Your Plants for Your Aesthetic

Sometimes you can’t dictate where your plants go; most simply thrive best in direct light. Looking at wilting or browning plants is not aesthetic, so find spots in your abode that suit the plant’s health. Some plants can do with less light, so you have more options to set them in the center of the room in cascading baskets or on plant stands. You can also buy stairs or steps for placing plants attractively on levels. One plant in the center of your butcher block or granite counter also looks nice.

Apartment Trends For Plants

There are two main apartment trends when it comes to plants. You can either have a jungle-like assemblage of tropical plants. Plants can grow thick enough to double duty as room dividers if the plants are palms. However, the most popular trend for those who like modern low-maintenance decor is a still-life created from small cactuses and rocks.
