Just as there are countless houseplants, there are plenty of container types.
The standard choices are plastic or clay pots, ceramic planters, or baskets with plastic liners.
Plastic pots are often the most economical, while glazed ceramic pots and metal urns can give an upscale look.
Some plants, like African violets, can be grown in special pots that provide constant moisture to the plant’s roots.
Be sure your container provides adequate drainage. You can easily drill drainage holes or use a plastic liner pot inside of a decorative pot.
Finally, be sure to use plastic saucers to protect furniture from any overflow when you water, but never let your plant sit in water.
Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ in a Minute is a production of the University of Florida’s Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Program, IFAS Extension, and WUFT-FM in cooperation with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
