In today’s fast-paced world, not everyone has the luxury of a designated green space – much less if you live in apartment buildings. But that doesn’t mean you need to miss out on the joys of gardening.
Container gardening is a flexible way to grow plants in smaller spaces – whether it’s your window sill, balcony, terrace, or patio. It’s low maintenance and beginner-friendly, especially with Pot and Bloom’s grow kits, seeds, and other care essentials that make gardening hassle-free!
How To Make Your Container Garden
Bring nature to your doorstep with our step-by-step guide using our gardening kits:
Step 1: Choose The Right Container
The right container not only holds your plants but also adds a little aesthetic value to your garden. Depending on the kind of plant you want, your choice of container will vary – herbs require smaller containers whereas vegetables require bigger ones. Pot and Bloom offers Self-Watering Pots that ensure your plants get ample hydration. These containers have a built-in reservoir that hydrates your plant regularly through capillary action. Long vacation days ahead? Fret no more!
Step 2: Pick Your Plant of Choice
One thing to keep in mind while you pick plants is to ensure that they all thrive in a similar environment, i.e., lighting and water. You can always mix up flora and foliage together to keep things fresh.
Step 3: Get Quality Seeds for Container Gardening
Finding container gardening kits online can be a challenge, but we are here to help. Pot and Bloom’s Treasure Grow Kits are ideal for compact spaces and have nearly everything you need to start your garden, including an instruction manual so that you don’t have to go looking for plant care for container plants online.
Step 4: Use the Right Potting Mix & Fertilizers
A good pot mix and fertilizer together lay the foundation for your plant’s growth. Pot and Bloom’s Pot Mix is loaded with the goodness of red soil, vermicompost, cocopeat, and nutrients to make your soil healthy, whereas our Nutrition Spray ensures that your plants receive robust growth with its micronutrients.
Step 5: Lighting and Water
For proper hydration, our self-watering plants are a great option. As for lighting, make sure you place your plants at appropriate places depending on the amount of sunlight they require – some plants need full sun while some thrive in shade.
Step 6: Style it Up
Your garden says a lot about you, so let your personality shine through it. Add colours, decorations, fairy lights, knick-knacks, etc. to your container garden.
Pro tip: A well-known approach to container gardening is the thriller, filler and spiller approach. So you can always mix your herbs and flowers together.
Thriller: Tall, eye-catching plants that add a tinge of drama to your container.
Filler: Medium-sized foliage to add some fullness to your container.
Spiller: The finishing touch to your containers, these are placed at the edge to spill out (thus the name).
Before You Go
Your container garden is your personal sanctuary that brightens up your space (and mood!). Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned plant lover, start small with easy-to-maintain plants and gradually explore different themes—like a healing herb corner, a colourful flower patch, or even a kitchen garden. Track your progress, celebrate every sprout, and let the joy of nurturing plants become a part of your daily routine. And don’t forget, at Pot and Bloom, you’ll find everything you need to succeed.
So bring home your kit, get your hands a little dirty, and watch your green dreams come to life – one container at a time.
