Large flower pots make an instant impression. They work particularly well in commercial spaces like hotels, office buildings, shopping centers, and more. These large flower pots provide such properties with the much-needed green area. The larger the surface area of the pot allows the gardener to plant multiple plants at once. Gardeners should use large flower pots in creative ways to enhance their appeal. Here are a few ideas for large flower pots that can make them stand out.

Creating a Colorful Foliage

Big foliage with different colors is what works best for large flower pots. Gardeners can use the large flower pots to create a medley of colors. Start with bright colored leaves like that of Coleus and follow it up with lighter tones of Torenia sp. Gardeners can complete the planter with a plant like Euphorbia Corollata that has multi-colored foliage and beautiful white flowers. Such a planting requires the use of large flower pots that can tend to the requirements of each of the plants as well as provide enough space for their roots to grow.

The 40 Liter Round Pot is the perfect pot for this purpose. The pot has enough space to accommodate three or more plants. Also, the pot is 462mm tall, which can easily allow the roots of different plants to grow to varying lengths.

Adding Height to the Plants

Fashion a dramatic effect by putting together plants that create a waterfall effect. Plants like Lysimachia nummularia work well for producing this effect. Add a splash of color with plants like Caladium. Apart from introducing color, this plant will also add some height to the arrangement. Fill in the rest of the pot with small colorful flowers like those from Torenia fournieri. All these plants can come together in a large flower pot like the 30 Liter Square Pot. It can be easily balanced over a platform to produce the waterfall effect.

The 32 holes in the center of the pot facilitate the absorption of oxygen directly to the root zone. This is crucial because the existence of so many root systems in the same soil can lead to anaerobic conditions, and improper ventilation can result in poor plant health.

Contrasting the Textures

Plant leaves develop different textures depending on their natural environment and nutrient requirement. Container gardening gives the gardeners the creative freedom to use plants with varying growth needs. All they need to do is pick the right substrate, and they can grow a combination of plants in the same pots. Leaf textures in plants can range from waxy to velvety, from smooth to prickly, and from dull to shiny. As light plays differently on each of these textures, contrasting foliage in the same pot can grab attention quickly.

The spiked leaves of Sedum reflexum can work well with another member from the same family, commonly known as the Garnet Brocade which features waxy leaves with a lot of colorful flowers. You can add more textures with Acorus gramineus, which is a grass, and so on.

The 30 Liter Drainage Collection Pot is a great choice for plants with such varied requirements. The 386mm wide pot has sufficient space for all kinds of plants. The roots receive proper drainage through the 7 center holes.

 

Gradient From Light To The Brightest

Large flower pots in container gardening can house a plant arrangement that puts together different shades of a color. Start with muted colors and move up to the brighter shades. A good idea is to use the muted tones on the bottom while leaving the brighter tones for the top. Ipomoea batatas is a good beginning for an arrangement of pink and even yellow colors. Cordyline plants can provide the next brighter shade of the planting followed by plants like pink lobelia and Dianthus chinensis.

The 30 Liter Round Pot V-rib is a large flower pot that can support this arrangement. Given that so many plants are sharing a pot, the V-rib in the design of the plant comes in handy. It keeps the roots from choking themselves by preventing root spiralling. There are as many as 40 holes at the bottom of the pot, and there are 8 holes that help in excellent drainage. All these features make this pot perfect  for container gardening with large flower pots.

 

Large flower Pots Are Ideal for Container Gardening

Large flower pots allow not one, but multiple plants to grow to their full potential. They offer enough space, good drainage and excellent ventilation to all of them. They provide the perfect base for all kinds of flower arrangements containing plants with a variety of growth needs.
