The Pot + Soil
Don’t have a glossy red pot? We love these AquaPots from Proven Winners for their beauty, high quality, and variety of styles–but best of all, they’re self-watering! Once you’ve planted your great-looking containers, you won’t have to water and fertilize for up to a month. Techno Red Tall Round and Techno Red Flat Rim Round styles are pictured below.
And don’t forget to use good soil for optimal growth and bloom. Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics® offers an Organic Container Mix made for excellent growth with natural ingredients including aged compost, yucca, rice hulls, and coir. We’ve used it, and our plants love it.
