When you first get your new plants from the garden centre or a gardening shop, you will be thrilled with the 20cm ceramic pot. It gives you the perfect starting point when you are posting for the first time – and you won’t have to worry about a Teflon tray being too slippery. If you have pots in your kitchen or pantry, this is the most ideal size as it is both practical and pretty. There are different pots that are suitable for different kinds of plants and flowers. If you know your plants and flowers like to grow in the same conditions, then choose the one that suits them best.

When you use these pots for container gardening, you don’t have to buy another large pot just to accommodate all your plants. Just fill the bottom part of the pot with dirt, pack in some plant food and spread a layer of potting soil on the top of the soil. This way you can have several small containers for different kinds of plants without the need to stock up on supplies. The fact that this pot fits into a corner means that you will need to do less watering as there is extra room.

Your plants will love the fact that they can grow in such a small space. You will soon find that you are finishing up with a container garden that is quicker to grow and has more volume than you had at first with the larger ceramic pot. By making the plant bed bigger, you can easily get a vigorous growing plant going.

Your first task should be to get the best potting bench that you can afford. It needs to fit securely on the floor and it needs to be big enough to hold the amount of soil and fertilizer that you will add to the pot. Choose a potting bench that has wide sides so that you can add soil to the pot easily. Remember that your garden bench’s height needs to be comfortable for you when you are standing in it.

You will also need to make sure that the pot is big enough to let the water drain away from the roots and into the drainage holes underneath. Most people prefer to use a drainage hole under their garden table as it allows the water to run off easily. However, if you are working out in the garden area, then you may not have access to this hole. If this is the case, then you will need a large garden tiling area, such as bark tile, to place on the ground under the potting bench.

It is important to consider where you will be putting your pots as well. Some plants need to sit deeper than other plants. If you have selected a pot that is too deep for the plants you intend to use, you will find that your plants will struggle to take in enough nutrients. So before you place any plants in the pot, think carefully about what they will be eating and what depth they will be able to grow at.

Remember that you will need to prune your plants often. It is recommended that you remove the tops of your plants every couple of weeks to help keep the roots cool and to keep the stems healthy. Your potting bench should have a slot to put cuttings or divisions that you can place into the pot after they have grown to about 2.5cm. Make sure that your pruning tool is sharp, otherwise the pruning blade will detangle your plant rather than helping it grow.

Your plants will appreciate being in a warmer and drier environment when they are growing from seed. However, if you choose to plant them in a ceramic plant pot, they will be kept in their own environment all year round. This is great news for people who like to have flowers and plants all year round. When you are choosing your pot, you should take these factors into consideration as you will be much happier with your choice of potting bench as you will have it to use year after year for your favourite plants.
