Whether you arrange your pots in a group for a massed effect or highlight a smaller space with a single specimen. You’ll be delighted with this simple way to create a garden.
Container gardening enables you to easily vary your colour scheme, search for harmonizing colours, and as each plant finishes flowering, it can be replaced with another. Whether you choose to harmonize or contrast your colours, make sure there is variety in the height of each plant.
The more variety you include in the plants you select, the more combinations you can achieve when renovating your outdoor space. Choose a range of selection with various bloom cycles for your growing season to abound.
Think also of the shape and texture of plants. Choose plants with a long flowering season, or have others of a different type ready to replace them as they finish blooming.
Experiment with creative containers. There is a variety of creative ways to preserve and experiment with container gardening. You might have an old porcelain bowl or copper urn you can use, or perhaps you’d rather make something modern with timber or tiles. If you decide to buy your containers ready-made, terracotta pots look wonderful, but tend to absorb water. You don’t want your plants to dry out, so paint the interior of these pots with a special sealer available from hardware stores.
Cheaper plastic pots can also be painted on the outside with water-based paints for good effect. When you are purchasing pots, don’t forget to buy matching saucers catching the drips. This will save cement floors getting stained, or timber floors rotting.
Always use a good quality potting mix in your containers. This will ensure the best performance possible from your plants.
Although you might not use recycled porcelain bowls, yet the simple concept of growing plants in pots or urns in addition to other objects, offers you a new perspective in container gardening.
With containers you can see your favourite hue just about anywhere. Sets of staircases of front doors could be used too to welcome visitors. The proper and imaginative use of pots could really help in conjuring the cosy and organized look.
If you have a huge home with a beautiful front door and lots of space, flower pots that are randomly arranged to one part of your front door usually looks better than placing two pots that are of the same design and size on both sides.
If you have steps leading up to your front door, an attractive pot plant on each one will delight your visitors. Indoors, pots of plants or flowers help to create a welcoming atmosphere.
Likened to perennials, pots add more aesthetic value when in odd numbers rather than same. A single pot in the perfect spot often looks good. But one more pot next to that pot, same size or not, and it will damage the setup. Add a third pot and it will recreate its beauty again. Three pots with the same design or pots that are not at all of the same design have a mystical beauty with them. There’s a mystery with the pleasant-looking odd numbers with arrangement. It’s such a wondrous fact.
Decide ahead of time where you want your pots to be positioned, and then buy plants that suit the situation. There is no point buying sun lovers for a shady position, for they will not do well. Some plants also have really large roots, so they are best kept for the open garden.
If you have plenty of space at your front door, a group of potted plants off to one side will be more visually appealing than two similar plants placed each side. Unless they are spectacular, they will look rather boring. Group the pots in odd numbers and vary the height and type.
To tie the group together, add large rocks that are similar in appearance and just slightly different in size. Three or five pots of the same type and colour, but in different sizes also look affective.
It just takes some creative mind that is determined to make the most out of using pots, plants and a simple space in order to have the best looking garden container. Some loving and research add it up for a pleasing scenario, inevitable enough to attract your friends and some unfamiliar faces.
