Things You'll Need:
- Pots
- Potting mix
- Watering Bucket
- Trowel
- Plant Fertilizer
-
Step 1
Select a container that adequately accommodates the plant. Your container should have holes in the base to allow for drainage. Also, your container should have a diameter that is about half the height of the plant.
-
Step 2
Find a good soil or growing medium. You'll be looking for something that will hold water well, but will also drain.
-
Step 3
Water your plants regularly, but do not drown the plants. Keep in mind that the amount of water your plant requires will vary day to day. Plants in pots generally require more water than plants in the ground.
-
Step 4
Fertilize your potted plants every two weeks. Watering plants flushes the nutrients out of the soil, so frequent fertilization is necessary.
-
Step 5
Repot your plants when they become too large for their pot.
-
Step 6
Monitor your plants regularly to be sure that they are healthy.
-
Step 7
Contact a nursery if you notice that something is wrong with your plant and the plant is not responding to routine care.
