Top 6 Tips for using Garden Pots in Container Gardening

Container gardening has been around for many centuries and is gaining popularity. In some instances, there is no other option but to make use of garden pots for a garden such as an apartment living or high-rise. The following is a long list of considerations if you’re thinking of making use of Garden pots in your own garden:

Choose the Right Material: A Garden pot is made from a large variety of materials such as clay, plastic, and stone. Some of these materials are more durable than the other and some more stylish. The usage of the pots will help you narrow down the choices.

Size Does Matter: If you have your plants picked out, you will be able to determine how large your garden pots will have to be. As an instance, small trees or tomato plants will need a larger pot simply because they have bigger root systems.

Vary the Pot Sizes: If you vary the sizes of the pots and the plants, you will have a garden with a more attractive and eye-catching appearance. Place small pots up close and scale the pots up as you go back.

Place Your Pots in Groups: If you place your garden pots in groups with smaller and mid-sized pots encircling a single large pot, you will add a great deal of interest and an awesome focal point at the same time.

Group Plants that Require Similar Watering in Each Pot: It seems obvious but you shouldn't put a fern which requires a fair amount of water in with a group of cactus.

Group Plants that Require Similar Sunlight in Each Pot: Garden Pots left in direct sunlight dry up quickly due to their small size. Try to place them in some shade, at least part of the day.
