Choosing the Perfect Planter

  • You can use just about anything that will hold soil as a planter. Ideally, the pot should have a diameter that is equal to 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the plants.
  • Holes in the bottom of the container are essential for allowing excess water to drain away from the soil. Container-grown plants are very susceptible to over-watering.
  • When drilling or cutting holes in the bottom of your planter is not an option, you do have a few alternatives...
    1.) Add a layer of gravel below the soil for small, decorative plants you plan to keep indoors where watering can be closely monitored.
    2.) Pot your plant in an inexpensive plastic planter with holes in the bottom, and then place inside your decorative planter. Be sure to remove the plastic planter and pour out excess water every now and then to prevent the roots from drowning.
To create the most beautiful container garden, mix up the look of your potted plants in unique and unexpected ways. Visit The Potting Shed where we can teach you how to mix shapes, textures and materials, choose the best pots for your plants, plus get the basics for re-potting. Your plants will thank you by giving you a flourishing potted garden that adds beauty to your home—inside and out. And you can even give the gift of green by passing on a newly potted plant to someone special.
