FLEXIBLE GROWING
Grow well in containers
Containers let you garden on patios, steps, rooftops and windowsills while keeping the setup easy to adjust.
THE RIGHT FOUNDATION
Choose the pot, soil and plant together
Healthy container plants start with enough room for roots, reliable drainage and a potting mix that holds moisture without staying waterlogged.
01
Pick the right size
Give roots room to grow, but avoid a container so large that the soil stays wet for too long.
02
Protect drainage
Use a container with drainage holes and place a saucer underneath to protect your surface.
03
Plan for care
Keep watering and feeding simple by grouping plants with similar needs.
A USEFUL RULE
Fewer, healthier pots beat a crowded collection.
Leave breathing room between containers so air can move, leaves can dry and you can spot problems early.
