Welcome to our guide to successful container gardening! Start with selecting appropriate container sizes for your plants, ensuring drainage holes, and choosing quality soil.
Tip 1: Right Plant, Right Container Don't try to grow things that won't thrive in a container. Consider the mature size of your plants.
Right plant, right container - essential for success. Research each plant's specific needs before you start.
Choose containers with adequate drainage. Good drainage prevents root rot. Consider material – terracotta provides excellent aeration, while plastic is lighter.
Use a high-quality potting mix specifically formulated for containers. It provides nutrients and aeration.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
