Introduction

Large plant pots are a great way to bring some greenery into your home. They can be placed on a table or shelf, or even outside in a patio area. If you’re looking for something to fill up an empty corner in your home, consider using large plant pots. However, there are things you need to know about taking care of them to ensure they stay healthy and beautiful for years to come:

Make sure your plant pots have drainage holes.

The next tip is to make sure your plant pots have drainage holes. If you don’t, the roots of your plants will begin to rot and die.

The reason why drainage holes are so important is because they prevent water from pooling in the bottom of a pot, which leads to root rot. They also prevent stagnant water sitting at the bottom of your pot and becoming anaerobic (without oxygen). This can cause toxic gases to form in this “anoxic layer” if there aren’t any air vents or drainage pipes built into it.

In addition to preventing root rot, drainage holes help prevent evaporation from occurring too quickly from the soil because it keeps moisture levels more consistent throughout each day. It also prevents frost heaves on slanted surfaces by preventing ice build-up on top of soil during freezing temperatures — plus it makes watering easier since there are no obstacles blocking access for hose attachments!

Always use the right size pot for the plants you are planting.

When you’re choosing a pot for your plant, always make sure it’s proportional to the size of your plant.

If you have a large plant, choose a large pot to hold it. If you have a small plant, choose a small pot to hold it. The most important thing is that you give each plant its own space so that they can grow into their full potential and thrive in their environment. You don’t want them feeling cramped or crowded!

Also make sure that there’s plenty of room around the roots so they can grow freely without being disturbed by other roots nearby (or soil touching them).

Choose a potting soil that’s designed for your type of plants and the pot they’re in.

The first thing to consider when choosing a potting soil is its composition. Potting soils are made of many different materials, but they’re all designed to support the growth of certain plants in specific pots.

• For example, if you’re planting a succulent in an airy terra cotta pot, it would be wise to choose a light soil that drains well and holds moisture well—but not too much moisture! That could cause root rot or other issues if there isn’t enough drainage.
• Or maybe you want to grow herbs like parsley and rosemary around your kitchen sink? Well then it might make more sense for them to grow in small plastic containers rather than clay pots since these herbs prefer an environment where water doesn’t sit around too long!

Watering is easier to control with large plants pots than with ground soil, but still can be tricky to get right.

How do you know when a plant needs watering?

There are three main signs that tell you whether or not your plants need water:

• The topsoil feels dry to the touch; 2. The leaves and stems of a plant look wilted or crinkled; and 3. You hear the sound of trickling water coming out from under the pot when you lift it up (this may happen if your pot has drainage holes).

It’s best to water early in the day so your plants will have time to dry out before nightfall.

Watering in the morning is best. If you water your plants in the evening, they may be too wet when it gets cold at night. This can cause your plant to get diseases and rot. Also, if you water your plants in the evening they may be too dry during the day, which could also make them sick or worse!

Large plant pots can be easy to care for when you follow these tips!

• Make sure the pot has drainage holes.
• Use the right size pot for the plant you are growing.
• Use a potting soil that is designed for your type of plants and the size of your pots, as they are not all created equal! I love Miracle-Gro Potting Mix which is available at my local garden center or online at Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JIHUEK/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=blo0f-20&linkId=6d1565e900f724a9b70769e88c2b7748#customerReviews_. It’s easy to find where I live since it comes in bags with handles, but if you don’t have bags like this where you live then just make sure there isn’t too much sand mixed into the bag before using it because sand will weigh down your pots over time causing them to crack and leak water around their edges making them harder to take care of especially if they have any kind of wooden base!
