The container garden is really easy to care for. How ever, since plants are more prominently displayed than in the garden, they require regular attention to keep them looking their best. Enough water is most important.

To keep plants neat, remove faded flowers and yellow leaves as soon as they appear. If you go over your plants a little each day, it is easy to keep them well groomed. Some kinds, like fuchsias, drop old blossoms, which must be picked up by hand or with a small broom and dust pan. Also, keep sweeping up fallen leaves.

When geranium blossoms fade, remove them with a firm snap of the fingers or with pruning shears or scis sors. Cut off faded petunias to prevent seed formation. Do the same for marigolds, verbenas, snapdragons, zinnias, stocks, and other annuals as well as hardy flowering trees and shrubs, tropical plants, perennials, and bulbs. Gardening Supply - Read More.
