Plant pots are very important in container gardening, both for their ability to resist drying and also for the aesthetic value they add. You have probably heard how beautiful some plants can be grown in a pot. It is true that plants that are grown in containers do better than those that are grown in the ground. Container plants have the advantage of being able to spread easily as well as be propagated easily.

A beautiful feature of many container plants is that they can be made to look very attractive with just a couple of pots. The amount of work required in order to have this effect is minimal. In most cases all you need is a sharp potting medium, a knife and perhaps some moss or bark. If you want you can even shape the plant and make it look like it has leaves. All that is needed is a strong container and good drainage.

Most container gardening enthusiasts agree that a trellis type container is best for container gardens. They can be suspended or vertical in nature and usually hold six to ten plants depending on the size of the container. They can be made of plastic, aluminum or metal. Trellises come in all shapes sizes and colors. Some of them are made to look like hedges while others are designed like giant flowers. They are popular in container gardening due to their ease of growing and their ability to withstand drying.

When growing plants that require pots, the most important consideration is the container’s drainage. It should be large enough to let any excess water drain out but small enough to still retain a measure of gravity so that water does not pool. If the container’s drainage is not proper it can result in mold growth and root rot. This is why it is always best to get professional advice when choosing your container’s drainage.

Choosing the right size of the pot is another important step when it comes to container gardening. Larger pots are great for container gardens where the plants will be grown in large quantities. However, smaller pots work great if you are just starting out and are concerned about limited space. All plants should be watered equally no matter what size they are in the pot.

Before you plant your seeds or seedlings into the ground, make sure that they have adequate soil. Canadian soil does not hold moisture well and therefore must be mixed with a high quality potting medium such as perlite or vermiculite. Both types of soil contain clay particles which are beneficial for plants to feed off of.

The temperature and humidity of the container garden are two other important factors when it comes to container gardening. Make sure that the container is at a comfortable temperature to encourage healthy plants. Humidity levels that are too high can lead to fungus and disease while temperatures on the low side are perfect for thriving plants.

Keep in mind that both seedlings and plants should be watered equally. There is no significant difference between wetting or dry watering. However, there are differences when it comes to the time of the day you water. You should water plants before the topsoil has begun to dry out. After the topsoil has begun to dry out, you can water your seedlings and plants just once each day. Watering your plants in the morning or evening is a good idea because it will give them a chance to absorb the water.

One of the best materials for potting medium is rock wool. It is very absorbent and has very little drainage. It is also a very good soil conditioner. Rock wool can be mixed with sand and the mixture can be placed into the soil for growing medium.

Good potting medium needs to be moist but not saturated. It also needs to drain well. Most container gardening beginners tend to over-water their plants because they tend to apply too much soil which is not good for container gardening.

It’s also a good idea to mix a little bit of the potting medium you are using into your soil. This will help to improve the texture of the soil and will prevent the roots of the plants from sticking together. This will allow them to grow healthier. If you need to add any fertilizer to the soil, it would be a good idea to mix some in. Just don’t overdo it. Some people believe that you should feed the plants every few weeks or so, but this is not necessary.
