The important do’s and don’ts of container gardening

Looking for an easy way to try your hands at gardening? If yes, container gardening is the ideal option for you. It is absolutely fun and you can freely experiment with your plants and their arrangements. You can also use designer flower pots to give that perfect look to your home and garden.

It is true that a beautiful container garden can change the look of your home. But to make it a success and get the most out of your containers, here are a few do’s and don’ts that you should follow.

•    Don’t over-pack
Most of the people think that more plants together in a pot will make it lusher. In case you too fall in the group, you need to understand that just like every living being, the plants too need proper space to grow. So it is better not to over-pack the pot or container with too many plants.

•    Do feed your plants properly
Different plants have different food requirements and it is important that you feed them properly for better and healthy growth. You should follow the instructions on the label to ensure healthy blooming of your plants.

•    Don’t let containers dry out
The reduced soil volume and water in your pots will cause them to dry out with the heat of the season kicking in. Therefore, daily watering of your plants is necessary to keep them hydrated and prevent the containers from drying out. Put your finger in the soil and if it feels dry, it’s time to water your plants. Also, a light-weight container means it’s due for a drink.

•    Do place the pots in sunny locations
Most of the plants need proper sunlight to get the energy and grow better. So you should place your containers at a spot that gets adequate sunlight to encourage proper growth of your plants. But remember that too much sunlight can also harm your plants.

•    Don’t drown your plants
Just like under-watering, overwatering too can harm your beautiful plants. Ensure that the pots you use for gardening have proper drainage holes to let the excess water run out. You need to be cautious because wet roots can rot your plants or leave them open to diseases.
