Cultivation of plants in containers, at first sight, a little in what differs from the cultivation of various flowers on a window sill. But in each business there are nuances.
You overestimate the opportunities
Many dream of the blossoming site or the balcony which is buried in flowers, but not all can afford it. And business at all not in finance. Think whether your way of life allows to grow up those plants which you have chosen. Some of them demand special leaving. If you often make business trips who will daily water your green pets in suspended cachepots? Whether your hand will be raised to cut off a plant, care of which means it? Your blossoming garden or a kitchen garden in a container shouldn't be a burden or a reason for a remorse.
You don't consider requirement of various plants
Each plant needs a certain composition of soil, a degree of hydration and illumination. Before you plant different plants in one container, carefully read the information about the characteristics of care for this plant. This saves you from a lot of hassle.
Do not pay attention to the quality and time of purchase of planting material
Buying planting material from proven manufacturers is the key to success. But in this case you need to be on the lookout. Roots of seedlings should not have traces of a mould or flake, and bulbs should be dense and elastic.
Try not to buy plants in advance. Not always and not everyone has the opportunity to keep the planting material for a long time. Let it be better the manufacturer's problem.
You don't think over the place for a container in advance
Many make the same mistake – at first fill a container with the earth, plant plants there, and then try to move all this on the constant place, risking own health. Such manipulations with suspended cachepots of the considerable sizes are especially dangerous.
It is much more effective to act on the contrary. Consider where you want to place the container or hanging pots, place it in the place and only then fill the ground. To minimize the number of injuries, try to start work in the garden and garden with gymnastics.
Watering of plants in containers the same as on a flower bed
On a summer sun plants in containers need the frequent watering, as the Earth's small size is fast enough dried up. This is especially true in relation to plants in hanging pots. To make sure that your green pets have enough moisture, check the soil at a depth of a few centimeters. If the earth is dry, and the container is large, you can make some deep holes in the earth coma, for example, knitting needles, so that the water is easier to penetrate to the roots.
You don't observe a balance between the sizes of capacity and a plant
Beauty – a concept subjective. And, nevertheless, sometimes there is a sense to pay attention to the basic design principles. For example, it is considered that plants have to correspond to the container size. Small plants in huge pots often look strange and painfully, and large – is ridiculous and unsafe.
If you have understood that it is your case, it is possible to try to correct a situation. Place to your undersized green pets at least one plant which height will coincide with container height. Or it is possible to add climbers which will drape with leaves and flowers a part of a pot. Big plants from too small containers can only be replaced.
Beauty!!!
