How To Properly Plant In Pots VIDEO
At last, time has come to decorate the balcony with your favorite flowers and show them to everyone as your pride and joy.
However, in order to achieve better and more beautiful look of your flowers as they grow, you need to know how to properly plant them in pots. Whether we are talking about petunias, geraniums or any other flowers, you have to take proper care.
1. Pick the right pot
Any pot needs drainage openings so roots don’t get soggy. The pots should be covered with stoneware shards, stones, or a little bit of screening to shield soil from moving out. In the event that the containers are placed on a wooden deck, consider utilizing pot feet or a plant stand to raise them so that the decking doesn’t remain wet, which will prompt decay.
2. Pick the right soil
Considering ordinary garden soil is too heavy and can present disease, make certain to utilize a potting mix or a homemade equivalent. Items marked as potting soil contain disinfected soil and different ingredients, while soilless mixes comprise for the most part of peat greenery or peat substitutes, compost, and perlite or vermiculite to keep it loose. Soilless mixes weigh less yet dry out quicker. However, a few plants, for example succulents, are more inclined to them.
If you mant to try making your own potting mix, mix five parts compost with one part builder’s sand, one part vermiculite or perlite, and one-quarter part dry organic fertilizer. Whichever medium you utilize, verify whether it contains slow-release fertilizer. if not, consider blending in a few granules at planting time.
