Filling Large Flower Pots
When you’re looking to fill large flower pots, soil choice is key to achieving a blooming display and healthy plants. Here are some tips to help your large flower pots be as beautiful as possible.
Soil Choice
Choose the right soil mix for your flower pots. When planting outdoors, use a soilless mix. Flower pot soil mixes are usually peat based because they retain moisture and nutrients well. A regular garden soil contains pests and weeds, and can dry out quickly so it’s not suitable for pots.
Planting
Be sure the pot has good drainage. Make sure your large flower pot has drainage holes in the bottom, and use a saucer that is large enough to catch the excess water. If you don’t have a drainage hole in the pot, use a piece of mesh over the bottom to allow the excess water to pass through.
Nutrients & Water
It’s important to give your plants the right amount of nutrients and water. During the warmer months, larger pots will need to be watered more often as the soil dries out faster. Add fertilizer to your soil mix to provide vital nutrients to your plants.
