Grow Flowers in Pots and Planters

Growing Flowers in Flower Pots: Container & Planter Basics

Use a big container. Bigger is better. A larger pot or container holds moisture longer and also provides more space for the plants' roots. The healthier the root system, the healthier your flowers will be. The container must have a drainage hole in the bottom to allow excess water to escape.

Use fresh, top quality soil mix or potting mix formulated for container plants. Most of these are soil-less, meaning they are based on milled sphagnum peat moss or bark combined with sand, perlite or vermiculite. Some mixes contain a slow release fertilizer; some contain water holding crystals to lengthen the time between waterings.
