By Richard Fisher


According to research, the gardening services industry is moderate in size and growing a steady rate. Buyers are always concerned with making their plants look beautiful and they buy flowerboxes, tools, and other supplies so often. However much supplies one buys, without making the right choices, it is likely to be a waste and the results achieved will only be mediocre. Here are some tips to go buy when buying flower boxes.

What plant one has plans of planting should top the list of considerations when picking a box. One must take caution to ensure that the plant and the planter box match each other. To do so, the requirements for growth of the plant should be considered. For example, some flowers need plenty of sun and space to grow well. Other grow very fast to form huge plants and that should be taken care of by choosing a big container.

Secondly, before setting out to buy the item, one must factor in the location it will be kept. One should not waste too much time of trying to figure out what material is most suitable if the item will always be located inside the house. One the other hand, for outdoor items, materials should be prioritized. The item should be able to withstand harsh environment and weather. Small items are good for filling up spaces in designs while large ones function as focal points.

Thirdly, one should consider the material the box is made out of. The material plays a big role in the beauty and health of the plant. Also, the material needs to be chosen wisely to match with the theme and decor inside the house. Material also plays a role in what color the box can be painted in. There are also many designs on the market from which one may choose.

The list of factors to consider should have drainage in the fourth position. Drainage must be done sufficiently and efficiently. Poor drainage inhibits circulation of air in the soil and mat lead to flooding which may drown plants. Flooding of water leads to death of the roots and eventually the plant dies too. Good products include holes for draining too much water. The holes should be located to the bottom or lower side of the container.

These products can be made from several materials. The materials may be organic or inorganic. Some of the materials in common use are fiberglass, clay, stone, concrete, wood, and metal. Different plants have different material requirements. Therefore, the choice of a product should be partly influenced by the type of flower one wants to plant.

There is a lot of variance in sizes of planter boxes. There are small units in which only one plant can fit in and bigger ones that can accommodate several large flowers. Customization of sizes is also possible for those who have specific needs.

Places from where one can make a purchase of boxes are many and diverse. Local flowers stores are the first destinations that come to mind. Beyond that, one may visit stores that handle supplies for gardens. Also, internet has made it very convenient and easy to order products online.
