Picking The Right Pot For Your Nursery
When planning your nursery, it is a good idea to look into purchasing an assortment of pots and containers. There are many pot gardening options available today. For example, you can purchase a variety of square, round, rectangular, oval, and even saucer type containers to plant your favorite flowers in. There are also many cute options for baby nursery plants such as Baby’s Breath, Shasta Daisy, or Butterfly Wings. And don’t forget the classic terracotta plant!
When you begin to pot, be sure to purchase a potting medium that is suitable for your plant type. For example, if you are planting tomatoes, you want to use a potting medium that is most suited for tomatoes. However, if you are planting strawberries, peppers, or any other plant type, you need a potting medium that is best for that plant type. It is important to know the difference between the right potting medium for your plant type and then choosing the wrong potting medium. This will result in wasting time and money and possibly causing your plant disease.
Most people when shopping for pots are looking for the biggest pots they can find. However, these big pots can often be the wrong potting material. It is not necessary to purchase the biggest pot you can find. Small, fine pots work just as well. Many of these smaller pots can even be used for potting your seeds.
Many people are surprised to learn that nursery pots are not the ideal potting materials for many flowering plants. You should not purchase a potting soil for a plant unless it is extremely fast growing and you have little concern for size. Many people choose to purchase a small potting soil for their plant just in case it dies or needs repotting. If you are unsure what type of potting soil your plant needs, I would suggest talking to a garden center employee. They can tell you what your plants require based on size, species, type of flower, and other factors.
The size of the potting medium you use is also important. If you are growing herbs, it is important that the potting material is large enough to allow them plenty of room to grow. However, some herbs do well in smaller pots. It is also important to remember that the size of the pot does not mean the size of the plant. Some smaller flowers can actually fit into a larger pot, provided they are properly potty trained.
The size and shape of the pot are also important. It is possible to get by with any pot, provided it has proper drainage and has good drainage. Some plants like the idea of being in a container but prefer a pot. Just make sure the potting medium drains. If your soil has too much soil, the roots may be unable to drain properly and the plant could drown.
Another thing to consider when choosing a pot is what type of container your nursery carries. Some nursery pots are small and are best suited for a desk tree. Others are large and can fit many different varieties of plants, depending on the size of the pot. A nursery that carries square or rectangular shaped pots will usually have a few standard plants and a couple of exotic plants. Most nursery stores carry pots in these shapes.
Pots come in all colors, so you may want to choose one that complements the overall color scheme of your nursery. Some plants look better in softer colors, while others look better in bold colors. Also, some plants only bloom during certain times of the year, such as the summer. If you know the time of year your plants will be blooming, you can choose a potting medium that will help them thrive during those times.
