Container Garden Tips, Ideas & Suggestions - Low Maintenance Potted Plants Outdoors

This video is all about thinking how to create a beautiful container garden on porches, patios and decks with potted plants that are easy to care for and don't require babysitting with a water hose! Before getting into the bulk of things, we show you what our deck and container garden used to look like prior to the transformation. Our old growing scheme was beautiful, but required way too much work and time consuming effort to keep everything looking good. In this video I talk about strategies for picking the right plants, how to protect your deck, and thoughts about how to choose the best number of plants that won't be overly time consuming for you. I've selected some very drought tolerant plants such as Agapanthus, Amaryllis, Plumeria, Adenium, Epiphyllum and Lantana. I've also employed repetition to create a more harmonized look and ensured there is plenty of negative space to keep things looking well spaced. #pottedplants #containergardening #gardening Pot Feet Big: https://amzn.to/45yJ8Xp Pot Feet Small: https://amzn.to/3VPw6l2 Large Container: https://amzn.to/4cpV1Bp More garden tools & accessories: https://amzn.to/3xzxFdD 0:10 Our Deck Before 2:20 Container Garden Tips ******************************* My favorite plants products: Best Deluxe Growlight: https://amzn.to/3Tz3Vm1 Best Inexpensive Growlight: https://amzn.to/3hz2gzV Growlight Bulbs: https://amzn.to/3G3bZIS Clamp On Growlights: https://amzn.to/3TCgqxy Rooting Hormone: https://amzn.to/3Uujxsx Best Fertilizer for Foliage Growth: https://amzn.to/3fUACgi Best Fertilizer for Flowering: https://amzn.to/3WRkcFY Fungus Gnat Help: https://amzn.to/3UO4A4h Floral Tape: https://amzn.to/3A6vH2B Insect Control: https://amzn.to/3A3DgHe Pruning Shears: https://amzn.to/3A6vQDb Timer for Grow lights: https://amzn.to/3TnuYAU Moss Pole Ingredients: https://amzn.to/3hDYTY8 Heat Pad for Propagations: https://amzn.to/3WMsYF8 More Plant Stuff: https://amzn.to/3WRkCMy Make sure to peruse my channel for ever more content related to all things plant!
