Hey everyone, my first ever video is on how to plant flowers in pots. Gardening is so much fun but when you are a beginner, it can be hard to know where to start, so I thought this would be the perfect video to start with! Plant pots are perfect for on your balcony, or on a patio in your back garden! I hope you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more! It would mean so much 🙂 #garden #gardening #flowers

When shopping for your flowers for your plant pots, choose bedding plants 🙂

Wow! I came here from your other channel. Didn't know you are so multi-talented.😍
i love what u r doing ! Think am gonna learn a loot from u 💚😘
Whats the name of the stuff u put on the bottom of the pot to help water drain ?
Any tips you can give on how you maintain your area
Im quite new to do this and excited to start planting lol, thank you for the tips!!
👌🏼🙏🏼🌸
Thank you.
What is the name of the flowers you planted?
Did you have to fertilize it
Well done young girl ❤️
This girl knows nothing.. studies show putting gravel at the bottom of the container actually makes the soil hold on the the water until saturated….
Love this Thank you
I like that
Hey. Do I have to put stones or people's at the bottom?
really liked the video
More videos plz x
gg
Putting those bits in at the bottom can also stop drainage, so be cause of how much you’re putting in
Your growing in ONLY compost? I think talking more about flower type and soil type would help much better
Wow your really good.
What plants did you use ?
Excellent
I always wonder if I should take out the flower from these little pots they sell them in. My mom says they need a pot with holes so the water can evaporate. Is this truth? Do I always need a pot with holes ? I see your not having any wholes in the big brown pot
Thanks for such an easy explanation!
Well explained, no fluff! Thanks x

my question is do we have to water everyday morning?
thank you again
thank u for the tips
I just started planting for the first time. Thanks for sharing. And you are so beautiful 😍
you should gently crumble the roots a bit so they dont become root bound
Amazing! I’m praying I learn how to garden from watching these video! ❤️❤️
Thank you I appreciate it going to get started right now you're awesome thank you❤
Short, clear and concise. Thank you
Would recommend using gloves as well as breaking the roots of the potted plant before actual planting 👍
Hi, Rocks or other chunks of debris in the bottom of containers do not contribute to better draining soils and healthier plants. Instead plant roots encounter saturated soils that don't drain efficiently. It all has to do with something called a perched water table
Thank you❤ x
Thank you for the explanation, you have some great points, but I'd like to put out some advice.
Do NOT mix sharp objects (like shards of terracotta or glass) into your soil.
A garden pot of that size will dry out daily in 90F weather if in a place of full sun, so I would not recommend a pot with holes. Rather, a holding well of standing water at the bottom will be absorbed upwards through the organic soil medium throughout the day. Organic soil structure can be damaged by over-drying and over-saturation of water can aid with that. A reduction of watering should be made in cooler seasons or after a rain event to prevent long-term pooling. The holes at the bottom will allow leakage of nutrients onto the ground, which is not only a loss for the health of your plants, but can build up on surfaces spilled onto. It also allows mold to grow easier and ants tend to enjoy the access in.
Un-compacted soil will have greater porosity and allow for greater hold of water than rocks at the bottom of a pot. The roots of those plants should not be going deeper than 1' unless seeking water, so root rot caused by standing water should not be an issue.
Also, consider putting a few handfuls of mulch around the top to aid in balancing moisture levels, which will create less stress on the plant.
Thank you
