The clever use and positioning of container grown plants and shrubs can greatly emphasise the beauty and design of a property.
A well chosen display of flowers and foliage plants in an attractive planter can brighten any gloomy corner of the garden. Having two conifers or palms in large pots either side of a path or doorway will highlight these important exterior features of the house.
In warmer Mediterranean climates larger more architecturally impressive plants can be used to compliment any stunning villa design in Nueva Andalucia.
Probably the most important consideration to bear in mind when container planting is to ensure that the plants are kept well watered. This is because the restrictive nature of containers causes them to dry out quickly, especially in sunny positions. Larger plants are also unable to use their roots to reach water sources in the same way that ground planted ones can. Container grown plants must also be fed on a regular basis.
One of the greatest advantages of container grown displays is that they are easily moved. This will allow you to quickly alter the landscape of your garden. It is, however, important to ensure that you are able to move the larger pots without straining your back, as they can be surprisingly heavy, especially when they have just been watered.
