Have you ever seen the picture-perfect flowers at high-end apartment buildings and upscale commercial offices and wondered why yours don\u2019t look as good? \u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI Don\u2019t Understand…?\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mary Jane stops by Home Depot, searches the store for the right color flower. She finds them in the last aisle, with bright purple petals that would be the perfect accent for her front yard. Mary purchases four flats (about 72 flowers), and hurries them home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next morning, small shovel in hand, Mary carefully and painstakingly plants the flowers, one by one, in perfect rows. One hour later, delighted with the result, Mary carefully waters her creation. Proud. Pleased. Her neighbors will be envious.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as the weeks pass, her carefully planted joy turns to frustration. \u00a0Mary complains to her husband, \u201cI don\u2019t understand why these darn things won\u2019t grow! Half of them look dead already!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever felt this way about your flowers?<\/strong> Why do some high-end properties have such beautiful flowers while yours struggle?<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
