container planting

Growing in pots

Container planting is the practice of growing plants in pots, boxes, or other vessels rather than directly in the ground.

It allows gardening on patios, balconies, and other spaces without soil access: Container planting transformed her tiny apartment balcony into a herb garden.

The technique also lets gardeners control soil conditions and move plants as needed.
