Keep Your Plants Happy with the Right Container

Healthy, happy plants start with your planter. Match the size to your plant: pick a container that’s 1 to 2 inches larger in diameter than your plant’s root ball. Bigger plants should be 2 to 3 inches larger to give them room to grow, without causing excess wet soil that can cause root rot. 

Need a low-maintenance option? Flower planters with self-watering systems can make plant care easier by delivering water directly to roots from a reservoir.

FAQs

Generally, you should choose a planter that is 1 to 2 inches wider in diameter than your plant’s current root ball or nursery pot. It prevents excess soil from holding too much moisture while still giving your plant room to grow. Pick a planter twice as tall as your root ball for larger, taller arrangements.

You should use container soil. It’s lighter, drains better, and prevents soil from packing down too tightly around roots. Do not use ground soil in your planter. It’s too heavy and dense for pots.

Yes, planters need drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. This standing water will saturate your soil and cut off oxygen to your plants’ roots, leading to root rot.
