Tips for planting flowers in pots

Potting Soil

You'll need potting soil for your container gardening. Consider buying Miracle-Gro options or whatever is on sale. If reusing soil from previous years, mix old and new soil to ensure nutrient availability.

Protect from Extreme Weather

During periods of extreme heat or cold, consider moving your pots to sheltered areas or providing additional protection, such as shade cloth or frost covers, to safeguard your flowers.

Gardening Gloves

While not essential, gardening gloves can prevent soil from getting stuck under your nails. Lightweight options with a cloth/latex mix are comfortable for working in flower pots.

Small Shovel

While not necessary, a small shovel can speed up the planting process. However, using your hands is also effective for working in pots.

Fertilizer

Consider using a trusted fertilizer for your plants. Find one that suits your needs and preferences.

Water

Ensure easy access to water for watering your plants. Have a water pitcher or hose nearby for convenience.

Planters

Collect various planters over time, as they can be an investment. Look for options that suit your space and preferences. Tall planters with inserts can be practical and efficient for container gardening.
