Know More About Decorative Pots and Planters

Garden is the place that brings the serenity in your surroundings, a place to meet nature halfway, a place to soothe your soul. It is a teacher who teaches patience and trust. Gardening revolves around too many hopes and dreams yet to be realized. The decorative planters help us to decorate and nurture these hopes and dreams.

From your patios to the entrance or from the terrace to the backyard, you can simply transform the void into a blooming botanical paradise with decorative pots and planters. These pots and planters can be placed anywhere and everywhere to heighten the visual allure of the space. The first priority should be given to choosing the right height of pots or planters to step into the realm of a container garden.

Small Pots
  • Disadvantage: Congestion of the roots, further cuts off the moisture, oxygen and nutrients, if the pot is small in size, thereby depriving the plants of vital nutrients that will guarantee its vigorous growth. The plant will demand a large quantity of water especially during the scorching summer, if you have a small pot.
  • Advantage: Plants like cacti and succulents are ideal for growing in small pots, as they demand less water. Various shallow rooted plants such as Rhoeo, Syngonium, African violet etc. can be grown in them.

 Large Pots
  • Disadvantage: The redundant soil tends to sojourn in the pot, forming a hard cake barrier, in case the pots and planters are large in size in comparison with the size of developing roots. This can later overpower the roots. Also, the soil in a large pot takes time to dry out with a propensity to tip over.
  • Advantage: Compared to the smaller pots, large pots can retain greater amount of soil and water, hence dries out at a slower pace. Large pots are great for growing shrubs, small fruit and ornamental trees for placing in locations where ground planting is not an option.

There can be nothing better than decorative planters, pots and planters. They give you a variety of options to play with.
