Start small and easy
The best first garden is a small one. A few hardy plants, good soil and the right tools are enough to build confidence before you expand.
Basic supplies
- Soil: Holland Torf Potting Soil for pots and containers.
- Food: Bio Organic Fertilizer to keep plants growing well.
- Tools: a pair of Bypass Secateurs for trimming and pruning.
- Support: Bamboo Cane Plant Support for climbers and tall plants.
Forgiving plants to begin with
Try Money Plant indoors, and Vinca or Rhoeo outdoors. They tolerate beginner mistakes well.
Common beginner mistakes
Overwatering, using pots without drainage holes, and placing sun-loving plants in deep shade are the big three. Get these right and most plants will thrive.
Everything is available at Souq Garden, delivered across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Umm Al Quwain.
