How to choose the right planter for your plants

The question every garden owner would want to answer: what's the secret to creating a thriving and beautiful container garden?

The answer is simple: choosing the right planter for your plants. It may seem like a small detail, but selecting the perfect planter can make all the difference between a healthy, vibrant plant and one that struggles to thrive.

Why is choosing the right planter so important? The simple answer is that each plant has specific needs when it comes to soil, light, and water, and a planter that's not designed with these needs in mind can lead to disaster.

    What happens if I choose the wrong planter for my plants?

    If you choose the wrong planter for your plant, you may experience any of the following:

    • Reduced growth or stunted growth
    • Increased risk of disease or pests
    • Poor drainage leading to root rot
    • Inadequate light or temperature control

    But fear not! With the right planter, you can create a thriving container garden that's the envy of your neighbours.

    At Maison and Garden, we understand the importance of choosing the right planter for your plants. That's why we offer our Winawood planters, made from sustainable wood-plastic composite materials. Our planters are designed with durability and functionality in mind, and are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colours to suit any garden style.

    But why choose Winawood planters? Here are just a few reasons:

    • No rot or damage: Unlike traditional wood or plastic planters, Winawood planters won't rot or damage from weather exposure.
    • Long-lasting: Our planters are made from durable recycled plastic materials that will withstand the elements and last for years to come.
    • Drainage system: Our planters have built-in drainage systems to prevent waterlogged soil and reduce the risk of root rot.
    • Many sizes and shapes: Choose from a wide range of sizes and shapes to fit any space or design style.
    • Many colours available: Pick from a variety of colours to match your garden décor.

    Here are some examples of what planters are suitable for what plants:

    • Plants that need full sun will thrive in a terracotta planter. The natural pores in terracotta allow for excellent drainage, which is essential for plants that love to bask in the sun. Try pairing a terracotta planter with sun-loving plants like lavender, rosemary, or succulents.
    • For plants that prefer partial shade, consider using a planter made from a material that retains moisture well, like a ceramic or wooden planter. These materials will help keep the soil consistently moist, which is perfect for plants like ferns, begonias, or impatiens.
    • Plants that prefer well-draining soil will benefit from a planter with built-in drainage holes, like a plastic or resin planter. These planters allow excess water to drain away from the roots, preventing root rot and other issues. Try pairing one of these planters with plants like begonias, or geraniums.

    Choosing the right planter for your plants is crucial for creating a thriving container garden. At Maison and Garden, we're committed to providing high-quality, durable planters that meet the needs of your plants. Try our Winawood planters today and experience the difference for yourself!
