Plants and flowers in large clay planters can be gorgeous, but it’s not like they just get into the pots themselves. It takes a lot of work and quite a bit of patience to get to the point where your planters and landscape are breathtaking. With that in mind, read on below for a few tips to help you design your perfect garden.
Use Lightweight Fillers
While it’s not a great idea to fill up your clay planters with anything but potting soil, with large planters, filling the bottom with a lightweight filler can help you to save on soil. This saves you money on potting soil. It also keeps the container from being so heavy you have a hard time moving it from one spot to the other. Just make sure you separate the filler from soil to lessen the possibility of damaging your plants.
Be Careful with the Plants You Choose
When it comes to showcasing the plants in your large containers, it’s best to be careful with the plants you choose. The last thing you want is your plant to be dwarfed by the pot you’re using. But you don’t want the plant to overshadow the planter either. The types of plants you use are up to you, whether they are a variety of different plants or one single plant that fills the planter.
Finding Your Planters
The clay planter itself is just as important as the plant that goes in it. There are many different outlets and sites online to help you find the perfect containers to grace your yard. There are different sizes, designs, and even shapes to choose from. So the sky’s the limit and the choice is yours.
