Everyone has a different opinion on which Garden Planters and Flower Pots work best.

When it comes to making your yard, patio, deck, or home feel
personalized and inviting, nothing does the job quite like well-maintained flower
pots and planters. Purple Rooster has a very good variety of planters

Inside your home, of course, pots, urns, and planters are the only
way to keep your plants.

But outside, in Lancaster, South Carolina, a nice mixture of planters and natural soil
plantings can really bring a yard to life. Spring time is usually when you get your
annual flower pots ready to go.

During the winter months, dead plants and flowers should
be removed from pots, and soil should be dumped as well, though many people add
fertilizer and nutrients to their used potting soil and re-use.

If you have clay, terra cotta, or ceramic pots and planters, they should be emptied and brought indoors during the winter.

Winter freezing and thawing can crack clay materials leaving you with broken and
crumbling planters in the spring. In this guide, we will get some ideas on where to
find and how to use pots and planters in your gardening inside and outside the home –
and check prices and where to buy.

Use a big container. Bigger is better. A larger pot or container holds moisture longer and also
provides more space for the plants’ roots. The healthier the root system, the healthier your flowers will be.
The container must have a drainage hole in the bottom to allow excess water to escape.

Use fresh, top quality soil mix or potting mix formulated for container plants. Most of these are soil-less,
meaning they are based on milled sphagnum peat moss or bark combined with sand, perlite or vermiculite. Some mixes
contain a slow release fertilizer; some contain water holding crystals to lengthen the time between waterings.
