SEASONAL TIP: Planter Drainage | |
If your planter foliage keeps wilting, the roots may be getting too much water. To ensure proper drainage, start from the bottom up. First, make sure your planters have proper drainage holes near the base. Next, line the bottom with clay shards, coarse rocks, packing "peanuts", or charcoal to prevent water pooling. Finally, use a soil or soil mix designed specifically for container gardening, such as Jolly Gardener® Potting Mix or Moisture Mate Potting Mix.
