Handy pots for your vegetable garden

Plastic flower pots for young plants

• Small P7/P9 pots: perfect for starting with tomatoes, lettuce, or basil. These small plastic pots are often used as nursery pots for growing and transplanting young plants. They fit in a greenhouse or on a windowsill.
• Larger pots: for tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini. Allow for at least 10 liters of potting mix for optimal growth.

Large flower pot for perennials or larger plants

Large flower pots, a large planter, or a large planter are ideal for perennials and larger plants. They offer ample space for plants to thrive and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Large flower pots and planters are available in various materials, such as plastic, ceramic, terracotta, and concrete. Concrete is popular for its durable and modern look and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Shrubs such as hydrangeas and azaleas are also perfect for large planters, as they need ample room to grow. Large planters are also available in various shapes, such as round, square, and cylindrical, so you can always find a pot that suits your style and space.

• Potato pots with handles: with an inspection hatch, you can see how the tubers are developing. Handles make moving them easy.

Placement and maintenance of outdoor plant pots

You know the feeling: you're walking through the garden and think, "There really needs to be something nice here." Choosing the right spot and the perfect material for your outdoor planters makes a world of difference for your plants and the ambiance of your garden. A large flowerpot or stylish planter can become a real eye-catcher on your patio or balcony, while smaller pots in all sorts of cheerful shapes and colors create a playful effect. Whether you choose terracotta pots, plastic flowerpots, ceramic, or metal, each material has its own unique charm in terms of sturdiness, weight, and appearance. Wooden pots, for example, have a natural look but require regular maintenance to prevent rot.

Consider the size of your plant and how much space you have available when placing your pots. Large planters are perfect for outdoor plants that need plenty of room to grow, while a beautiful decorative pot or wicker basket adds an elegant touch to smaller flowers or herbs. And don't forget that good drainage is essential—a saucer under the pot will neatly catch excess water and prevent your roots from swimming. This keeps the soil healthy and allows your green friends to thrive.

Maintenance is just as important, but you don't have to make a fuss about it. Clean your flowerpots occasionally to prevent deposits, moss, and dirt—simply with soapy water and a brush. Also check that your pots are still sturdy and free of cracks, especially with natural materials like terracotta or stone. Ceramic, made from fired clay, can be glazed or unglazed and offers a stylish and durable option for both indoors and outdoors. Mixed-brick flowerpots offer the appearance of stone but are lighter thanks to plastic, making them easier to move. By choosing from a wide variety of pots in different sizes, colors, and materials, you can design your outdoor space entirely to your own taste. Whether you want to create a green oasis or prefer a more modern look, with the right plant pots you can create endless variations and give your garden or balcony a new atmosphere every time. This way, you can turn any outdoor space into a place where every plant lover feels completely at home.
