Extremes in temperature and soil conditions will
stress your plants! Wet, poorly drained, sodden
ground displaces oxygen in the soil and plant roots
can suffocate. Conversely, when root systems are
hindered by soil compaction, deprived of adequate
irrigation, are root bound in containers or stifled by
concrete and asphalt stress can also arise. When
selecting plants for such areas be cognizant of
these hazards and choose accordingly. After purchasing these types of plants it is important to recognize that they often need to acclimate to their
surroundings before they are self-supportive. In
other words, they need to crawl before they can
walk, or in these cases root before they flourish.
