Introduction

Here at Planters, we have a wide selection of planters to suit every gardener’s needs. Whether you’re looking for indoor or outdoor planters, our selection has something for everyone! If you’re just getting started as a newbie gardener or want some advice on how best to use your new purchase, then look no further than this comprehensive guide.

Follow these steps for successful planting.

• Before you begin, make sure the soil is moist and well-drained.
• Remove any labels or stickers from your planter if possible.
• Follow these steps:
• Fill planter with soil to 2 inches below lip of opening, then smooth out and level with your hands before planting starts. (See our post on how to do that here.)
• Plant your bulbs or seeds as desired in groups of 3-10 bulbs or seeds per group depending on how large they are, keeping them at least 6 inches apart from each other and 6 inches apart from any other plantings in the same container so that they have room to grow without crowding each other out.* The best way to space them out evenly is by using an old ruler as a guide! Just place it against one side of the container first (bottom), then use something like a chopstick or pencil tip held between two fingers at different lengths until you find one that gives you perfect spacing between each bulb/seedling.* If using smaller pots like those found at stores like Home Depot/Lowes etc., I would recommend using only 2″-6″ pots because all of them fit together perfectly when placed side by side on top of one another making them easy for children (or adults) who might want their own garden but don’t have much space outside their house yet.”

1. Select a container with good drainage.

• Select a container with good drainage.
• Use a container that is at least 2 inches larger than the plant’s original container. For example, if you are moving from a 4-inch pot to a 6-inch pot, use an 8-inch container for your new plants.
• If possible, select a container that is at least 1 inch larger than the plant’s original container (for example, if you’re moving from a 4-inch pot to an 8-inch one) or 1/2 inch larger (moving from 4 inches down to 3 inches). This extra space helps give room for roots and soil volume after watering; it also reduces risk of overwatering when watering is done by hand instead of using self-watering planters or automatics systems like drip trays/tray liners which do not require frequent watering due to their design

2. Fill the bottom third of the container with potting soil.

Fill the bottom third of the container with potting soil. Potting soil is different from garden soil, being lighter and having more air in it. Garden soil is heavier and does not have as much air in it.

3. Place the plants in the container so that they are sitting on top of the soil.

• Place the plants in the container so that they are sitting on top of the soil.

If you’re planting a multi-stem plant, make sure that each stem is placed at roughly the same level as it was in its nursery pot (the original root ball should be visible). If your plant has been cut down from its former height, you may need to fill up extra space with good quality compost or stones before adding water.

4. If you live in a warm, dry region, your plants will need a layer of fine gravel over the soil to keep it from drying out too quickly. You can also use a thin layer of mulch.

• If you live in a warm, dry region, your plants will need a layer of fine gravel over the soil to keep it from drying out too quickly. You can also use a thin layer of mulch. Gravel is good for retaining moisture and keeping the soil from drying out, so it’s especially useful if you live in an area with hot summers and very little rainfall during the growing season (or any time of year).

Gravel is often used as fertilizer because it contains minerals that are beneficial to plants; however, since gravel is not organic matter itself (it’s just rock), when it decomposes it doesn’t give back any nutrients to the soil. In order for gravel fertilization methods like this one to work effectively you must add more organic material such as compost or manure every few months so that these nutrients won’t be lost forever!

5. Add more potting soil around the plants until they are at their original level or slightly lower than their original level of growth in their nursery pots.

Now that your plants are in their planters, fill the potting soil around them until they are at their original level or slightly lower than their original level of growth in their nursery pots.

You want to make sure that the plant sits on top of the soil and is not buried by it.

6. Lightly tamp down the soil when you reach the same level as your garden soil and water them for about 10 minutes.

After you have planted your seeds, lightly tamp down the soil and water them for about 10 minutes. The next day, use a watering can to moisten the soil around your seedlings. Do not over-water your garden!

7. After watering, lightly cover your plants with mulch to help hold moisture in and weeds at bay!

• After watering, lightly cover your plants with mulch to help hold moisture in and weeds at bay!
• Mulch can be used in a variety of ways. You can use wood chips, straw or wood mulch. Mulching helps keep the soil cool in the hot summer months and also keeps it moist during dry spells.

It is not too hard if you follow these steps!

If you follow these steps, your plants will be happy in their new homes. They will grow better and become healthier.
