Arborvitaes - How to plant in containers

[@auyannaplants]

Those look so good in the containers. Those are great centerpieces that you can keep year round and just fill with annuals throughout the growing season. Love it!

[@GardenObsessions]

Southern Entertaining Love how these plants can be used year round!!! I love the way Arbs smell I usually have them on porch. 💃🏻🌲🕺🏻💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@DonnaObrien-we4mg]

Thanks for the great information! Super clear. I've just subscribed.

[@GardenObsessions]

Thank you! 🙏💐💚

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Those look good in the new containers. Great information!🙏

[@GardenObsessions]

Thanks for watching, hopefully one day we will be putting these guys in the ground so they grow to their full potential. -ambrose

An old BQ fork works great loosening root balls without damaging them. Also good for loosening and aerating compacted soil because they're long, thin and strong.

2:47 I started getting pissed at my neighbors dog, then realized it was the video

[@LongLiveMasterChief]

Perfect video and just great all-around easy to understand instructions. Subscribed and thumbs up. I'll be sending subscribers your way. Great job!

[@natalielangford747]

It's always a good idea to soak the root ball in a bucket of water, until fully absorbed, before transplanting into another pot or in the ground.

[@elflordsjourneys]

I have 4 dwarf Alberta spruce in pots that are at least 10 years old,and they are doing great.😀

[@GardenObsessions]

That is awesome, how big are they and what size pots. I think evergreens should be something that should be in everyone’s garden.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Oh I think a 20 gallon plastic pot,the trees are about 5 feet tall by 2 feet across,in the winter we water them once a month if there's no rain or snow .I will be putting up,a video,soon with them in it.😀

[@GardenObsessions]

Elf Lords Journeys awesome please do! That sounds amazing.

[@elflordsjourneys]

They are also in the summer in our backyard video too.

[@GardenObsessions]

Elf Lords Journeys Good day!!! Winter has arrived, don’t seem like it around here though in the 60s. It’s a little vacation spot for the arbs! They make every area look beautiful. Have a great day! 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@TNOG511]

That was Awesome, Yes it looks Very nice, I'm loving the Baskets on the fence.. Looking forward to your next UPLOAD Thanks for sharing Enjoy your Evening

[@GardenObsessions]

The New Orleans Gardener Thank you! The hayracks have been filled with new plants and looking so pretty! We will put out a video on them. If you can’t wait to see video lol we have them up on Instagram and our Facebook group. Trying to get our videos going, next will be on what we planted in old urns for the porch. Have a goodnight! 🤗💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@PrairiePlantgirl]

Every year I tell myself I will buy more evergreens, then every year I cheap out. I need to fix that. Those arbs have amazing roots on them. Good thing you were moving them up to bigger pots.

[@GardenObsessions]

They are a great investment and as a matter of fact we have more every-green to show in our next video. We have gotten to enjoy them so much in our small garden and hope that one day we will be able to get them in the ground. The roots did look very good for such a small container and I’m glad we switched them out when we did. Thanks so much for watching! -Ambrose

[@FarmerG]

Cool beans bro. Great demonstration and explanation. Cool planters on the fence. I like it. 👍👍

[@GardenObsessions]

Thanks for stopping by. We looked at your channel and subscribed. Hope you enjoy what you see.

[@sandiraygoza1514]

I have small juniper trees in small urns that I need to move up into larger containers. I picked them up when they were tiny and have grown the last few years. I am afraid to plant them directly into the ground because we have such a tiny yard and I don't know how tall they'll grow. Question for you, why didn't you transplant them into considerably larger containers. The new ones don't look much larger than the old ones.

[@timehasbegun5828]

Hey guys love the way you decorated your fence with the planters.

[@GardenObsessions]

Mari's Vegetable Garden Thank you!! We replanted our hayracks about a week ago. I will show them on video soon. If you would like to see what they look like now I have post on Instagram and on our Facebook group pictures of them. They came out really pretty. We are catching up on putting up our videos. There is photos of what has changed in our home on IG and FB. Have s great evening!!! 🤗💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@timehasbegun5828]

@@GardenObsessions I will have to wait for the video 😇 this is the only social media I have😯

[@GardenObsessions]

Mari's Vegetable Garden Then I will have to get going with these videos lol. We fell a little behind on videos but we are trying to get the ones we took out before Christmas. It’s been a lot of fun! 🤗💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@marieallen7934]

I kept waiting for him to yell “Shuuuuut uuuuuuup!!”

[@ottodeacon303]

A trick: you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.

[@rosiethurman7900]

Looks great! Thank for the video. I been looking for a soil mix to pot up my holly pencil trees

[@courtneyteister1806]

Loved the advice!!! Replanting mine today. For future "background" issues. Mute video and record a voice over. Thank again!

[@mianaomipost9885]

So glad I came across your channel-can I plant arborvitaes in a raised bed or huge planters and they grow as healthy adult trees? I need the privacy around my pool but the area where they’re planted is too wet.

[@sammysworld5485]

I’m just curious, why one needs to amend pine bark at the bottom if there’s a drainage hole at the bottom. Don’t see how plants would be sitting in water. I’ve posted a dwarf spruce without any amendment & it’s doing amazing.

[@zebraheadproductions]

I planted 2 little giant arborvitaes in containers, I used pine bark and garden soil and mulch. About a little over a month ago they dry out . I have to removed them. I don’t know if I didn’t water them enough or it was to hot. The shrubs turn brown drying out. I want to buy new shrubs . How do I water and care for them?

[@GardenObsessions]

There could be many things going on from what I’m reading in your comment. First you stated a month ago which would have been really hot depending on your zone. Second, you mentioned garden soil. Potting soil is what you want to use for containers. Newly planted shrubs especially I. The summer need about 10 minutes of constant drip in order for them to take up as much water. Another tip is to use a fertilizer with microrizhae preferably espoma biotone to help the roots establish quickly. Let us know if you have any more questions.

[@zebraheadproductions]

Garden Obsessions Thank you so much for your quick response and help

[@vlatkomafija]

can these Arboviataes grow in a container for like 10 years reasonably well?

[@GardenObsessions]

Arborvitaes can live up to 20 years and yes you can in a 20 gallon container or bigger. Make sure it is a very durable container that can accommodate a full grown shrub. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@LizbethOT7]

Awesome video, thanks!!!

[@NATUREVIEWSNSOUNDS]

Like 8. Great job my friend.

[@GardenObsessions]

NATURE VIEWS & SOUNDS Thank you friend!!! 🤗💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@carlindurfee7566]

What kind of urns? Are they plastic or resin. I don’t want them to look cheap and urns have a nice elegant look. I was going to put an evergreen in an urn on each side on my bottom step to give color during the winter. The house is very grey and the hydrangeas turn to sticks so I need a little life and color and think they would look great. Don’t know which evergreen I was think arbs but need advice on the urns and what to do. I live in New England so cold climate but it’s southern Rhode Island so it doesn’t get extremely cold compared to mass Vermont and Maine. I am 2 miles from the coast

[@trelyndakerr]

can you leave them in the containers outside over winter? I am in Zone 7B

[@GardenObsessions]

Yes they can stay in containers in 7b. After living in NC zone 8 we moved to Virginia Zone 7 where we had container garden and everything did well. You can get frost prove containers for extra protection. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@mddubtubeyou]

I bought some garden bark, small nuggets. Will that work to mix with the potting mix as the pine bark you suggested. Thanks for the vid!

[@athislotusfeet]

In live in Zone 5, Canada. Plan to put in south facing location. How do you water them in winter when all is frozen and how often do you water them in hot summer south exposure. Thank you Brother for a wonderful demonstration on video. I have been planning to plant them on pots but I had no courage given our brutal winters.

[@GardenObsessions]

No watering during winter, just make Sure to continue watering during fall until the ground or the soil freezes. In your zone I would use a frost proof container and heavily mulch during winter. If you plan to place in a south facing area and a spot that gets lots of wind be warned that it’s possible to wind burn the foliage especially with arbs in containers. During spring and summer months continue to water heavily in containers as in a container they soak up lots of water. Let us know if you have any other questions.💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@bowler8]

Should plant dwarf arbovitae

[@LuisHernandez-rk2tp]

Its july here in los angeles and i have my lil trees in containers. But there starting to turned brown. i tried to put them in the shade but i was told they also need sun. Am i doing something wrong?

[@belowdelancey1025]

About how tall can these grow while still in a pot/container?

[@GardenObsessions]

Some arbs planted in the ground can grow up to 3 ft a year. In a container depending on the size will construct its growth to only a few inches per year but eventually will stress out and start to show after about two years if not planted in a bigger container.

[@debbykaufman848]

Loved this video. Question...are those plastic pots and do they have holes in the bottom. I prefer plastic only because they are easier to move around. With some larger pots it is impossible to drill holes because of the structure of the pot. Also, I have a tendency to overwater. Would love your opinion on holes or no holes. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you. 🙂

[@GardenObsessions]

Good Morning and happy Sunday! These containers are resin reinforced with concrete. We like to use these types of containers so they withstand the elements, especially with evergreens. We use plastic as well and there is nothing wrong with that. We always advise to have some type of drainage and with a resin container like that it’s best to use a masonary drill bit so it doesn’t crack it and with a little bit of water causes less friction for the bit to gone through. Let us know if you have any questions and we will be happy to answer them. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@rga0815]

Drill 4 holes low on the sides.

[@mianaomipost9885]

Do you have an update on the potted arbs?

[@TheNostalgicBasement]

Hey what did you do to get rid of the ants?

[@unoruby]

Do you have. To drill holes in the bottom of the plastic urns ? Thanks

[@GardenObsessions]

Yes definitely drill holes for drainage. 💚

[@adamdashawn]

I’m a plant novice. I am shopping for planters for Arborvitae trees and I notice that some have holes at the bottom and some don’t. For drainage I assume, so for the arborvitae some I buy with hole? Thanks!

[@GardenObsessions]

You can drill holes in the containers that don’t have them. Always have holes in your containers.

[@adamdashawn]

Garden Obsessions Thanks!

[@futbol1972]

Ok so if I buy emerald greens that are 5-6ft high can plant them in these pots or bigger ones (what size?) Iam still thinking if I will add concrete slab on side yard or not but if I do then I will put them on pots to add privacy to a 173 ft fence facing street. . I live on a corner lot and I need privacy from outside people looking into my yard. I also need about 6 fast growing tree to plant to block my 2 story neighbooor...I need about 10-12 feet to add privacy asap..been looking at pococarpus too.

[@futbol1972]

Also another reason I would like to put them in pots is because that will add about another foot of hight right away.:) don't need to take them out of pots ever if I don't want too right? Also they will probably grow very slow since pots will restrict growth?

[@jasonhill2348]

What container can you use for the northeast to survive the winter?

[@susancochranee1236]

where did you get the pots?

[@GardenObsessions]

You can find those pots at Home Depot. 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@nekovero93]

Thank you, I'm a pot addict..

[@bowler8]

The dog needs a walk, dogs don't bark if they have exercise

[@GrowFamilyNetwork]

Keeping it green...lol

[@GardenObsessions]

Louisiana Gardening Family Very green!!! Lol 💚 Hi!! Hope y’all doing good!!! Catching up on videos we will give y’all a visit soon. Have a wonderful evening!💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@jennifermorris833]

Nasty cheap plastic containers.

[@sandiraygoza1514]

Not everyone can afford the majestic concrete planters. More importantly, it's about getting out in the garden and getting our hands dirty. It's a beautiful blessing to be able to enjoy our gardens.

[@amberlebron2158]

Odin barking. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@GardenObsessions]

Amber Lebron We love you Odin!!!! Puppy love coming your way! Lol For the record not Odin 😅😂🤣. Love y’all!! 🐶💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@rs75401]

Omg stop talking so much and show how to plant. Way too slow, could not bear to watch after 30 sec. and the dog barking, so annoying

[@GardenObsessions]

We are sorry you felt that way. We have passion for what we do and although anyone can just put a plant in a pot we strive to share our knowledge about what happens to arbs planted jn a container not suited for long term use. We live in a wonderful community and unfortunately we cannot control everything. We appreciate you for watching. Have a great Friday! 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@quakerdaddy5237]

lol STFU bro

[@LongLiveMasterChief]

I'm convinced you're the barking dog in the video, a Golf announcer or a Librarian LOL I was so fixated on the wonderful knowledge he was sharing, that the dog wasn't a distraction. Lighten the hell up!

[@sandiraygoza1514]

I would rather listen to gardening videos where the person speaks clearly and pauses. So many gardening videos have people speak that it doesn't seem like they breathe between words or worse, what is now popular in the USA, people speaking with a nasal twang or with a whiny voice.

[@dougtwigg3285]

lol i didnt know ants ate roots
