Commonly Asked Questions

How do I arrange large pots in my garden?

To create an appealing arrangement, place larger pots at the back and smaller ones in front. Vary the colours and types of plants to add visual interest. Grouping pots closely together can make the display look fuller and more lush.

Which plant pots are best?

Porous ceramics like terracotta are excellent because they allow for even drying. If weight is a concern, lightweight fiberglass planters are ideal for pots 8" or larger. Wooden planters also dry faster and are great for certain types of plants.

What is the best place to have a container garden?

Identify spots that receive 6–8 hours of sunlight per day, as most plants thrive in full sun. Ensure the area is convenient for regular watering and maintenance. A well-draining potting mix is also essential for optimal plant health.

What is the best size for a container garden?

A 10-inch container is great for small fruits and herbs. A 14-inch container is suitable for leafy vegetables and larger herbs, while a 16-inch container works well for larger fruit plants and small trees.

What do you put in the bottom of a planter to take up space?

You can use plastic water bottles, unused nursery pots, non-dissolvable packing peanuts, or old foam take-out containers to fill the bottom of large planters. These materials take up space and improve drainage without adding much weight.
