1. Start with Proper Drainage

The key to having plants is making sure the water can drain out of the planter. You should always make sure your FOX B planter has holes in the bottom for the water to come out. If the water cannot drain it will stay at the bottom. Cause the roots to rot.

To make the drainage better:

You can put some stones or gravel at the bottom of the planter

You can also use clay balls or broken pieces of terracotta pots

This simple thing will keep the roots of your plants dry and stop fungus from growing.

2. Choose the Soil Mix

The kind of soil you use is very important for your plants to grow well. You should not use the soil from your garden because it gets packed down and does not let air in.

A good mix of soil should have:

Some garden soil to give it structure

Some cocopeat to help keep the water in

Some compost to give it nutrients

Some sand or perlite to let air in

This mix will make sure your plants get the air, water and food they need.

3. Water Your Plants the Right Way

One of the common mistakes people make is watering their plants too much. Of watering them at the same time every day you should check the soil to see if it is dry.

Here is a good rule to follow:

Put your finger into the soil about an inch deep

If the soil feels dry you should water the plant

If the soil is still wet you should wait a day or two

Plants that are inside usually need to be watered every 3 to 5 days but plants that are outside may need to be watered often when it is hot.

4. Put Your Planters in the Right Place

Different plants need different amounts of light. If you put them in the place it can hurt their growth and health.

Plants that do not need a lot of light like Snake Plants and ZZ Plants do well inside

Plants that need a medium amount of light do well in indirect sunlight

Plants that produce flowers need direct sunlight

FOX B planters look great in living rooms on balconies and in entryways. You just need to make sure the plant is getting the right amount of light.

5. Make Sure Your Plants Get Air

Plants need fresh air to grow well. You should not put them in a room that's completely closed or air-conditioned.

Here are some tips:

You can put them near a window or in a ventilated area

You should not put them right in front of an air conditioning vent

If your plants get enough air it will help prevent bugs and fungus from growing.

6. Give Your Plants Food Regularly

Plants that're in planters need you to give them food because the soil will eventually run out of nutrients.

You can use fertilizer every 15 to 20 days

You can also add some vermicompost once a month

This will help your plants grow keep their leaves green and make them produce more flowers.

7. Move Your Plants to a Planter When Necessary

As your plants grow their roots will need more room. If you see the roots coming out of the bottom of the planter or if the plant is not growing well it is time to move it to a planter.

You can move it to a planter that's a little bit bigger

You can also refresh the soil mix

Moving your plants to a bigger planter every 6 to 12 months will help keep them healthy.
