What is the best material for outdoor planters?

Cedar is an ideal choice for wood planters because it's durable. This type of wood, however, can be costly.

What do you put in the bottom of a planter for drainage?

Create a drainage layer

A drainage layer is created by adding a medium such as pebbles, stones or pumace to the bottom of a pot before adding soil. Soil particles are very small and tightly packed together, which means that water moves through them quite slowly.

What is the best pots for plants?

Ceramic and plastic are the two best options, and both have their pros and cons. Ceramic pots are porous which means your plants are less likely to experience root rot from overwatering. It also means you'll have to water more often. Plastic pots are lighter, less likely to break, and easier to clean.

How do you keep a planter box from rotting?

Peat moss mixed with vermiculite or sand is a perfect choice. Do not use garden soil as this is far too heavy and will compact together, therefore preventing adequate drainage. Sit your planter box on top of some bricks or pieces of wood to allow at least 2 inches of space for air circulation.

Are plastic planters good for plants?

Plastic does not have the wicking action that clay has making them an excellent choice for moisture-loving plants or for those gardeners who water infrequently.

How do I choose an outdoor planter?

Can I put a plant in a basket?

How do you line a hanging basket with plastic?

All about hanging basket liners

No matter which liner you choose, cut a piece of plastic, like a garbage or grocery bag, to fit and poke a few drainage holes into the center. Lay this over the liner before adding in potting mix to help lock in as much moisture as possible when you water.

How do you grow succulents in a basket?

Fill the container with potting soil and insert cuttings for a lush look. If using nursery succulents, plant them as you would in any container, or simply tuck them---still in their pots---into the basket. Use dry moss to conceal pot rims and gaps. A ribbon or bow adds a nice touch and says, "this is a gift."

Putting rocks in plant pots doesn't aid drainage or improve air circulation.

Should you put rocks at the bottom of a planter?
