Garden maintenance represents the regular care involved in keeping a garden looking a certain way. Of course, this means different things for different people so perhaps your garden will only need the lawn cut every week or so, or maybe you will want more involved garden maintenance. It also depends on the garden, of course, because the more plants you have (and the more diverse your plant portfolio is), the more maintenance you will have to do.
There are many elements that determine the wealth of your garden. Pot size, potting and planting process, soil mixture, soil and plant condition, light, indoor and outdoor conditions, watering methods and frequency, cutting and pruning, proper nutrition and care are among the few.
