Container Gardening (Part 3)
Consider different types of groupings for your plant pots. Very often occasional containers attract more attention, but sometimes, one plant in a center, surrounded by small herb containers looks also attractive. This large central flower-bed could have a number of different flowers such as daffodils, narcissi and violas while the smaller containers could contain one type of plant or herb.
If you are going to keep your plants indoors, you should determine which parts of your house are warm and let sunshine in lots. And where are the cooler and shadier rooms.
Now you have just an idea of what your container garden areas will look like, and it is time to give more attention to the types of containers, tools and plants that you’ll need.
Pots and containers
Be creative in selecting your containers, but you should bare in mind functionally of a container. For example, if you decide to grow berries (strawberries), think over a purchasing a terra-cotta planter that has special holes through which you can cultivate your fruit or herbs. And your small lilies need also tiny pot, as they may feel overwhelmed in a two-foot container. At the same time your tiny bonsai will need taller and roomy holders.
Remember that the size, material and shape of the container should correspond your plant’s health as well as to your surroundings.
You should be careful so that your indoor hanging pots don’t drizzle. They should also hold plants that won’t be too heavy.
