Let’s Talk Pots

Choosing the right pot can make a big difference to your plant’s health and happiness. It’s not just about what looks good, it’s about what gives your plant the space and support it needs to grow.

Think about how big the plant will get, how deep its roots go, and where the pot will be placed. Some plants like their roots snug, while others need room to stretch out. Consider how much sun or wind the spot gets, and make sure there’s good drainage. If your pot doesn’t have a hole, you can add a layer of pebbles or LECA at the bottom to stop water from pooling around the roots.

Plan before you pot

Choosing the Right Pot or Planter

Picking the perfect pot isn’t just about looks. The right planter helps your plant thrive. Consider the mature size of your plant, how deep its roots grow, and where the pot will live. Some plants prefer tighter roots while others need room to grow. Also think about the location: is it indoors, outdoors, in full sun or part shade? Drainage is important too. If your pot doesn’t have a hole, add a layer of pebbles or LECA to prevent soggy roots.

Pots need a little extra care

Caring for Potted Plants

Potted plants need a little extra care. Because they’re limited to the soil inside their container, they may need more frequent watering, especially in the warmer months. Use a slow-release fertiliser or liquid feed during the growing season to keep them happy. If the pot can be turned, rotate it now and then to encourage even growth. And keep an eye on the roots. If they start poking out the bottom, it might be time to repot.

Pots can elevate your space

Style Meets Function

Your choice of pot helps set the tone for your space. Whether you prefer clean minimal shapes or a mix of rustic textures, pots can add colour and structure to any garden or balcony. Try clustering a few different sizes and heights together to create depth and interest. Just make sure the style you choose also supports the needs of your plant and works with your daily routine.
