When deciding what containers to use in your garden or outdoor space consider what type of plants you want to use and the decorative effect that the container(s) of choice has on the surroundings as well as the size and type of space you have available. Below is a description of a variety of containers each with different qualities and requirements. Hopefully there is enough information included here to help you to utilize garden containers to maximize effect.

It is also a good idea to scour the internet for photos of different containers and be bedazzled by the vast assortment of them before choosing and buying your favourite containers.

Ceramic plant pots

These come in a variety of colours and are finished with a high gloss exterior. They can be quite large & heavy when filled with soil (as with some other containers). So plan first where to place them. You can of course buy a pot mover (which is a board on wheels) to move them around the garden when looking for a shady spot for your plant on a hot summer's day.

Fibre-glass/poly resin pots

Fibre-glass/poly resin pots are made to look like traditional stone urns or lead cisterns. When you buy fibre-glass/poly resin pots it is a good idea to get top of the range items so as to keep that quality look. The ageing process will eventually make lower-priced fibre-glass/poly resin pots look cheap & tatty. This also applies to other artificial containers that you use in your garden.

Half-Whisky barrels

When buying a half-barrel at a garden centre or online, hopefully, it will have been prepared for planting. This means that holes have been drilled in the bottom of the barrel and the wood treated with preservative. If this has not been done, remember to do this yourself first before using it in your garden.

If you have bought or acquired a genuine half-whisky barrel, the inside of the barrel will have been charred and so will not need to be treated further (other than holes being drilled in the bottom).

Half-barrels are heavy once full, so planting in them is usually permanent. Make sure you take time to prepare the barrel as well as choosing a suitable location for it.

Large ornamental plants, shrubs and trees can be grown in half-barrels due to their size.

Plastic pots

Plastic pots are good for starting off young plants indoors, in the green house or the conservatory but they do not make the best decorative outdoor containers that are available due to weathering but keep their appearance indoors which means house plants look fine in them. Please remember that plant pots stood outside on a hot summer's day can cause the roots to boil thus impeding the plant's health or killing it. Make sure they are placed in a shady position as long as the plant tolerates such conditions.

Stone urns

Stone urns conjure up the garden scenes from the days of colonialism and are suitable for decorating mature city gardens and country gardens alike.

Brand new stone urns can be painted with plain yoghurt which encourages moss and lichen to establish more rapidly to give the surface of the container an aged look.

Terracotta pots

The reddish colour of unglazed terracotta pots make them very appealing and contrasts with the green of the foliage (red is the opposite of green on the colour wheel). It is this contrast that provides the harmony that terracotta brings to the garden.

Terracotta will dry out quicker in the summer (as opposed to plastic pots which retain moisture better) so will need watering once a day, morning or evening (remember that watering in the middle a hot day can fry the plants foliage). They do remain cooler than there plastic counterparts though. Remember terracotta pots need watering every day in dry weather and plastic pots need to be kept out of the hot sun. Choose plants accordingly.

During the cold, damp conditions of the winter months, algae & moss grow on terracotta and need to be scrubbed clean when the damp weather has passed.

Versailles tubs

Versailles tubs provide an atmosphere of formality to the outdoor area they are placed in, due to their cubed shape. They are suitable for placing clipped bay or box, fruit trees or a standard rose inside.

They are often seen in pairs either side of a grand entrance to an exclusive club or hotel.

Also, consider that these types of tubs are often made of wood today which means that a potted plant should be placed inside them instead of putting soil directly into them. This means that plants can be changed regarding the changing of the seasons or due to disease or pestilence, a point worth considering when using any kind of decorative pot or tub.

Stone Flower And Plant Pots Online.

Large plant pots are readily available in shops, markets, online stores and designer galleries. Each place offers pots of a unique kind of style. So if you know what kind of gardening pots you want, you can directly head for the place that would provide you the particular kind of large plant pots. The following are some places from where you can purchase these pots.

Common markets: You can buy large plant pots from any common market. In fact, the common market can provide you with almost all kinds of large plant pots, starting from earthen pots to steel ones. It is difficult to get your pots customized in wholesale and retail markets, but still it is worth a try. The expenses would depend on the particular quality and kind of pot you are purchasing. For wholesale purchase, the cost will obviously be less. Try to visit a wholesale market when you buy these pots in bulk. But to save yourself from useless expenditure, buy the pots in large numbers from wholesale outlets only if you need them. Visit a retail store if you want to buy one or two pots.

Designer galleries: If you want a unique kind of plant pot, then visit designer galleries. They experiment not only with the medium and designs on the pots, but also with the shapes and sizes. The use of mixed media, for example the combination of wood and clay, brass and stone and many others look rather elegant and unique. Usually, the designer galleries would not prepare these artifacts according to your needs. But if you place individual orders for customized pots, they will definitely provide you with it. However, most of the times, these stores and galleries ask for a fortune.

Traditional potters and artisans: The best places to buy large plant pots or for that matter, any kind of garden decorations are the workshops of traditional artisans. Go to a potter and pick up authentic earthenware that bears a quaint ethnic charm. You can also ask for an additional terracotta work on them. In Mexico, go to the Talavera artisans and pick up traditional ceramic pots of different shapes and sizes. The designs on them may be customized. Chinese pottery and ceramic work, too, have been acclaimed for ages. Do not forget to pick a piece of Chinese plant pot with delicate designs on them if you are on a trip to China. And the best part is that the artisans sell these artifacts at a nominal rate.

Ways to choose large plant pots

When you buy large potters you should be careful about the shapes and sizes you choose. Although one can emphasize the role of appearance, yet, it is good to obtain pots of a shape and size that would be commensurate with the kind of trees you would plant in the pots. For example, trees with hardly any sideways growth of branches, but with a good upward growth, will require pots that are deep.
