Caring For Your Brinjal Plant In Pots

The brinjal plant in pot is a common variety of this herb, grown both as a landscape plant and as a herbaceous perennial. It prefers well drained soil and a sunny location, but does not do well in drought. Its fleshy leaves are about two to three inches long, dark green in color and oval to lance-shaped, and their sheath is thick and leathery. To help the plant to thrive, try pruning either its lower or upper leaf surface. Use only organic mulches such as 100% wood mulch or straw.

This beautiful perennial can thrive in a container garden or a pot garden. In a container garden it may be planted in a larger area than it would be in a pot. Planting it in a container garden will help to conserve moisture. The brinjal plant has fernlike growth, with a sponge-like texture, and it blooms bright orange, purple, red, pink and yellow flowers. The flowers are usually large and pendulous, with the petals folding in a fan-like fashion.

Because it grows best in well-drained soil, the plant needs to be watered often. When the soil is dry, it will lose most of its moisture, and the plant will suffer from leaf wilting and loss. Because it blooms at the ends of the growing seasons, you should dig it up when the plants have flowered to keep them from growing too far underground. If you keep the roots of this plant deep in the soil, it will take over your entire lawn by next year!

While container gardening, the plant is best mulched. You can use a wide variety of materials for mulching, including shredded leaves, pine needles, green waste, and grass clippings. These materials are held together by a plastic mesh to which you may add some fertilizer and soil.

Mulching your Brijal plant in a container may help the leaves from turning brown quickly. You should cover the pot loosely so that air can circulate and the soil remains moist. This will help your plant to stay healthy and continue to grow. If you do not have enough space to cover your Brijal plant, consider a Bonsai pot, which is designed especially for container gardening.

Keep your Brickell in a warm place where the soil is moist but not soggy. Sunlight is vital for the health of your Brickell, so place your container in an area in your yard where they can receive morning sunshine. During afternoon rains or very hot, humid conditions, you should move your pots to a shady, cool area in your garden. Make sure your Brickell doesn’t get too hot because it will lose its fragrance.

If you are planning to give your Brickell plants a bit of tender loving care, start by keeping the potting medium clean. Remove any decaying roots or any dust that might be on the container base. Water your Brickell regularly, but not excessively, as this can cause root rot. If you want to start your Brickell indoors, you should provide it with a small amount of starter soil. Don’t worry about it being expensive since it is available at many gardening stores.

Once your Brickell plant has grown to about three to four inches tall, it is time to place it in a large pot. You can also use a Terra cotta pot, although the potted plants are usually smaller. If you want, you can plant your Brickell plant in potting medium that has some clay in it. Before you choose Brickell plants for container gardening, remember that you should never place Brickells inside pots or any container for that matter that has a saucer or drainage hole.
