Best tips in Maintaining container gardens in hot climates

Container gardens in hot climates

Container gardens are a fantastic way to add texture and color to patios and gardens, as well as provide additional options for gardeners with limited space. Most plants grow happily in containers but generally require more maintenance than plants that live directly in the ground - especially during the hot summer months. From April to September, the plants in the containers need frequent watering to grow well. The compost in small pots dries very quickly, especially when standing in full sun, and should be checked regularly and watered well.

Soak the manure completely until it starts to run out of the drain holes in the tank. Adding a mulch to the surface after watering will help lock in moisture, but is not an alternative to frequent watering.
Since container plants are completely dependent on the gardener for nutrients, they should use a balanced liquid feed every week at half the recommended rate by the manufacturer throughout the growing season. Check compost containers daily in the morning or evening. Push your finger into the manure and when it is completely dry, watering is needed. Water in the evening or early morning, water does not evaporate quickly.

Pour water to ensure that the compost at the base of the plant does not get to the roots. Place a saucer under the pot, otherwise, it will catch the water that comes out. Pots and planters should be protected from excessive hot sunlight to prevent the leaves from turning brown or yellow. This can be avoided by moving the plants to shady areas during the hottest part of the day and by taking care not to let water droplets on the leaves, as this will magnify the sun's rays and burn the delicate leaves. Warm weather promotes rapid growth, so gardeners should monitor growth and observe high crowds, taking advantage of the opportunity to put plants in large pots when needed.

Very hot weather




Avoid putting the pot in very hot weather; Wait until a cool evening and keep the plant in the shade for the next three to four days. Whatever the weather, most plants will thrive when allowed enough root space and room to grow, so make sure you choose pots that fit the size of the plants you have chosen - at the same time complete your garden design! Often, sunlight is gratefully welcomed by gardeners because it promotes flowering and rapid swelling of fruits and vegetables.

To ensure that the container gardens thrive in the summer, remove the spent flowers and pick the fruit to continue to color and promote future crops. The golden rule of hot weather is to pay attention to the plants in the containers - regardless of size or location - and to eliminate any problems caused by wet and dry conditions in advance. You can not trust the rain to give the plants in your containers the water they need. Especially if the plants have large leaves they will act as umbrellas, preventing the roots of the plants from getting wet. By focusing on your containers when it is hot, gardeners can continue to enjoy potted plants throughout the summer

A successful small garden requires a big idea

You can let a large garden develop. And by 'large' I mean a garden more than 80 feet (25 m) long. All of the most successful small gardens I've seen lately have a strong idea behind them. In a small space, you can see everything at once, so it's important that everything looks good together. This principle applies regardless of shape, although many small gardens are wider than they are long. See here for general tips on the Shallow Wide Garden . Here are three successful small space garden ideas to inspire you. A plant-lover's garden After visiting Philip Ostenbring's garden (open once a year for NGS), I realized that a small outdoor space for unusual plants is a wonderful display area. There is no need to plant in a small space, in threes or in drifts, as the plants are very close to you. Each model looks great in a courtyard, terrace or patio garden. Whereas if you dot a variety of single plants around a large garden, everything can look out of p

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers.
