Flower pots waiting to be used Photo by Rod Allday |
When it comes to planting in a flower pot most people don't
have the slightest clue about what they are doing; they just fill the pot with potting soil. This works
after a fashion, but there are right ways to do everything. The purpose of this
article is to tell you the right way of how to plant in a flower pot.
You started the bottom warbles flowerpots have a small hole
to allow for drainage. Cover the small hole with a piece of broken flowerpot,
or the plastic lid from a bottle that has a series of holes cut in its bottom
that will also promote drainage.
This lid is placed upside down on the bottom of the pot so that it covers the
hole completely.
Once the lid is a place cover the bottle cap completely with
three-quarter inch gravel or crushed stone. On top of this layer continue with
about an inch of 3/8 crushed stone. When this layer is in place add another
inch of clean sand. On top of the sand place a layer of peat, or you can
substitute by using a thin layer of crumpled up facial tissues.
The purpose of the facial tissue or peat is to retain some
moisture in the pot without the plants becoming waterlogged.
Fill rest of the pot with a good potting soil of your choice
or one that you make yourself. Many potting soils are formulated with a
particular type of plant in mind. Be sure you match the potting soil with the
planet type you are going to have in the flowerpot.
These measurements can be adjusted to take into
consideration different sized flowerpots it is obvious that you wouldn't want
to use the same set of measurements on the flowerpot that is 3 inches by on one
of his 2 feet high.
When you are planting in a pot you can use either seeds, or seedlings. You should match
the size of the plant to the size of the pot even though you are starting from
seed. Sometimes you can use several seeds per pot; at other times you may be
using bulbs instead. As a general rule depending on the size of the grown plant
bulbs may be either planted singly as in the case of the amaryllis or in small
groups as is the case of the daffodil or iris.
Flowers are the perfect way to say many things; if you're not good with words, they may be the only way to say some things, and could be a real lifesaver when you need them. Sometimes however, logistics can get in the way of you bringing the flowers by yourself.
