When you first get started with container gardening, it can be overwhelming when choosing between the many big flower pots and the small pots that are available. It’s difficult not to feel overwhelmed when you see all of the pots that are shaped like a square, a triangle, or any other shape. You can find pots in all of these shapes. Some of them will fit into corners perfectly, and some of them will require additional holes to go into other shapes.

It can be hard to figure out which one is right for you, so here are some tips to help you choose between the big and small pots. Bigger is always better, especially if you really love a large cottage garden look. Also look for more perennial, biennials and flowering perennials if you like a more formal style. If you like a more open, free-flowing look, use container garden shrubbery such as gaura, callibrachoea, scabiosa, phlox, or butterfly bush.

Containers can be very forgiving, but they are not indestructible. This means that you’ll have to take good care of them. Keep your container gardening area clean, by removing weeds every spring and replacing the soil with new, rich soil every fall. Don’t over-water your plants, just do enough to keep them healthy. Be sure to mulch your perennials, and spread organic fertilizers on your soil as often as possible.

Most of your container gardens will be small, because there are only so many flowers you can have at any given time. Keep in mind that container plants tend to grow faster than their non container counterparts, so it’s important to plan ahead. Plant your early blooming perennials or biennials the first year, and your annuals in the second year. Once your garden starts getting established, you’ll be able to add more perennials and biennials in each growing season, increasing the depth and variety of your displays.

Big pots make it easy to keep your flowers healthy, but if they’re too small, they may not receive all the water and nutrients they need. To ensure proper drainage, choose flower pots that are wider than tall. Keep pots on trays or baskets so you can easily move them around to spread the weight of your plant roots. You don’t want to have root rot, and it’s especially important to spread your plant roots before they’re stressed and damaged.

Big and small pots come in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and designs. Many online resources offer plenty of design options so you can find one to fit your needs. If you want a very unique or formal pot, there are even some big and small pots that come with ornate designs. Just be sure to get one that fits your needs.

Flowering plants are very popular for container gardens because they’re usually so fragrant that your visitors will feel that you really spent a lot of time and love in creating them. Make sure you take the time to care for your plants and keep them protected from harsh elements. Your flowers are an important part of your landscaping, so make sure that you use the best materials and the most durable materials you can afford.
