Container gardening is an art in itself that can transform your terrace or balcony into a small green paradise. It is also a relaxing and rewarding activity. Today, we will focus on a specific aspect of container gardening: the art of filling a tall flower pot.
When to Choose a Tall Pot or Planter?
Tall flower pots can add significant aesthetic value to your space. With their sleek and vertical design, they catch the eye and can be used to highlight shrubs or larger plants.
Garden Nice offers a variety of tall planters and flower pots, mainly made from recycled materials. These pots are lightweight, easy to move, weather-resistant, and eco-friendly.
Criteria for Selecting a Tall Pot
When purchasing a flower pot, consider the plant it will contain. A pot must be wide and deep enough to allow the plant or shrub to grow harmoniously. The larger the soil volume, the more nutrients and water reserves your plant will have to thrive.
In an XXL tall pot, you can grow larger plants or shrubs that can develop naturally.
Tall planters are ideal for cultivating “privacy plants” such as bamboo and climbing plants.
As with any outdoor pot, ensure that your tall flower pots and planters are equipped with proper drainage holes to prevent water from stagnating, which could be fatal to some plants.
5 Plants and Shrubs for Large Pots
With a bit of imagination, your terrace or balcony can become a lush green paradise where you can relax and enjoy the good weather.
Many plants and shrubs can thrive in large pots. Here are five particularly suited for this type of cultivation:
- Japanese Maple Elegant and highly decorative, the Japanese maple comes in sizes ranging from 1.5 m to 10 m, depending on the variety. Smaller varieties are ideal for pot cultivation. Place it in a spot sheltered from wind and direct sunlight, and enjoy its foliage as it changes with the seasons. Opt for a variety with vibrant autumn leaves to brighten the late season.
- Dwarf Bamboo Dwarf bamboo is perfectly suited for tall planters. It creates natural privacy screens that are highly appreciated. These plants bring a Zen and oriental touch to your outdoor space. Be sure to water them regularly while avoiding excess moisture.
- Palm Tree The palm tree is another classic choice for container gardening. Dreaming of the tropics at home? A palm tree will add an exotic touch to your space. Consider placing the pot on wheels to make it easier to move indoors during winter.
- Olive Tree The olive tree is increasingly popular, bringing a touch of Provence to any region. It loves the sun, requires regular watering, and should be sheltered from wind to thrive. Be cautious, as it does not tolerate stagnant water well.
- Oleander Oleander will charm you with its abundant and colorful blooms. Regular watering and fertilization will support its growth. Like the palm tree, make sure to bring it indoors during winter to enjoy it year after year.
Preparing and Filling a Tall Pot
Before filling your XXL pot, make sure to clean and disinfect it. Even a new pot may contain dust particles or manufacturing residues. A simple wash with soapy water followed by a rinse with clean water is usually sufficient.
Drainage and Weighting the Bottom of the Pot
Pots made of recycled materials are often quite light. Adding some stones or pebbles at the bottom can help stabilize them, preventing wind or the weight of the plant from causing them to topple.
As with any container gardening, proper drainage is essential for plant health. Start by placing a layer of pebbles or clay balls at the bottom of the pot. Then, add a layer of jute fabric or geotextile to prevent the soil from mixing with the drainage layer.
Choosing the Right Potting Soil
The choice of potting soil is crucial. Opt for high-quality soil that matches the type of plant you intend to grow. Garden centers offer a variety of soils, such as Mediterranean plant soil, acidic soil mixes for ericaceous plants, or vegetable potting soil.
Plant Placement, Watering, and Care
Gradually add soil to the pot without compacting it until it is about halfway full. Next, place your plant or shrub in the pot and fill around it with soil, ensuring there is a gap of about 2 to 3 cm between the soil surface and the rim of the pot. This space is essential for watering without the risk of overflow.
After planting, water the plant generously, but avoid overwatering. The water should flow freely through the drainage holes.
Finally, finish by adding mulch to the surface of the soil. Whether mineral or organic, mulch reduces water evaporation and helps regulate soil temperature. You can choose from straw, cocoa shells, or even clay balls – the options are many.
