A FEW TIPS-

  1. Drainage holes are extremely important. If the holes are not big enough, the water will not move out, which will cause the soil to become too wet and your plants will suffer. Anything can be used as a container and drainage holes can easily be made using a drilling machine.
  2. Feeding your plants is crucial, if you want them to live. Fertilizers are necessary for their growth. Although, make sure not to use too much amount of it as it can be catastrophic for the plants.
  3. When you are choosing different plants for your container, make sure that these plants will get along well together. If they have the same needs of moisture and light then they'll be able to survive together. However, if they have different needs, they will not last long.

Get ingenious, and rampage and hunt through your old stuff for anything to be used. Let your imagination run wild and decorate your home with these terrific container plants.

Happy gardening!
