Rejuvenating Plants: How to Bring Your Landscape Back to Life

Over time, plants can become overgrown, weak, or unhealthy due to weather, soil depletion, and neglect. Rejuvenating your plants not only restores their beauty but also improves their long-term health. Whether you're dealing with struggling shrubs, perennials, or trees, here's how to revive them and keep your landscape thriving.

Assessing Plant Health

Before rejuvenation, evaluate each plant's condition:

• Look for signs of stress: Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, or brittle branches.

• Check the roots: Weak or overcrowded roots can hinder growth.

• Identify pest or disease issues: Early detection helps prevent further damage.

Pruning for New Growth

Proper pruning can stimulate fresh, healthy growth by removing dead or damaged parts:

• Shrubs & trees: Cut back overgrown branches in late winter or early spring.

• Perennials: Trim back old foliage in fall or early spring to encourage regrowth.

• Flowering plants: Deadhead spent blooms to promote new flowers.

Improving Soil Health 

Nutrient-rich soil is essential for plant recovery:

• Add compost: Enhances soil structure and provides organic nutrients.

• Aerate compacted soil: Improves root growth and water absorption.

• Use mulch: Helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Dividing & Transplanting

Some plants need to be divided or relocated to thrive

• Perennials like hostas and daylillies benefit from division every few years.

• Transplant struggling plants to better locations with more light or improved soil.

• Do this in Spring or fall when temperatures are moderate.
