Pots & Planters

Choosing pots & planters

• Growing space. Compare usable depth and opening size with the plant and the space available.
• Drainage. Check drainage holes, liners and trays rather than assuming they are supplied.
• Placement. Read material, weight and indoor or outdoor suitability.

Comparing options

Consider how the container will be filled, drained and moved. A decorative outer pot, a growing pot and a raised bed can serve different purposes. Compare usable depth and the drainage arrangement with the intended planting setup.
