Nice ideas. The only mistake you make is not loosening or roughing up the soil of the plants you put in. This helps the roots to gain purchase on the new soil. The roots *could* be circling their original pot. Takes a few seconds but really makes a difference.

Hi there. Yeah, a couple people have been asking me that question. I know that a lot of people rough the roots before they transplant. I have done that before in the past as well. After doing some research, and transplanting without doing that, I have found that it’s really not necessary. But as I’ve explained in previous comments, it’s really a preference. I’ve had many boxwoods that I haven’t, and they did beautifully. 😀 Either way, the plants are going to do fine. Thanks for noticing that. I probably should have explained why I choose not to. Maybe in a future video.

there is a lot of recent feedback from professional growers, such as proven winners, that breaking root memory is not a benefit, in fact, it could prove damaging to the plant. this doesn't matter if the plant is being placed in a container or native soil. severely root bound plants, scratching the bottom a small amount may be helpful. there are plants such as hellebores that are heavily root bound when they come out but they do not want that disturbed

Spray paint is a terrific way to freshen up old pots or create a cohesive look to a container garden. If I find a pot on sale or a pot that has a shape I love, I know I can make it work in my yard with a little paint. Those boxwoods look really terrific, and the "feet" give those pots an expensive look. Good job!

Peggy, glad to hear you do that too. I love saving money wherever I can. It's a great idea to refresh old containers with a new coat. It makes them look so good even after years of use. When I found these pots, I thought the same thing. They were the perfect size but wrong color. What an easy fix. Yes, the feet are a new thing I'm trying, but I think you're right. It does elevate the look a bit. Thanks so much for commenting and also for watching. Have a great day. :)

When you repot or transplant a root bound bush or tree, you should loosen the rootball. I usually slice 3-4 cuts around the whole rootball. It helps the plant to establish itself in the new hole/pot.

Once you have removed the plant from its old pot, it’s easier to place that empty pot inside the bigger one and pack the soil under and around the pot. You can lift it out and move it around much easier than trying to navigate the plant itself. Water that soil and small pot and when you remove it, the plant will pop into the perfect mould you made for it. Water again after.

One thought regarding moving these pots ... we put the 'carpet glide feet' on all yard furniture and heavy pots .. then even I can shimmy or pull a pot to/from a spot, depending on temp and season. In your case, the clay feet will not endure the combination of heavy pot weight and friction on pavement. The glider feet are a win win .. come in small rounds & squares...

Hello Kay. Great question. I’ve done that before in the past, and I’ve transplanted without disturbing the root ball too. I have found that it’s not necessary do do so and had success either way.

Oh yes. The bags that I use are from Sam's Club and are huge which makes for a strenuous pour. They have 2 cubic ft of wet soil in each bag, which is quite heavy.

@williamsgardening
@williamsgardening Жыл бұрын
So nice of you to stop by and comment. Yes, container gardening has challenges sometimes and I have had many, many times where they didn't work out. It can be so frustrating for sure. One thing that helped me find more successes was when I started using Proven Winners annuals. They just seemed to be more hardy and really did better for me. If you find some, you might want to give them a try. I used them at my moms house too and they've done exceptional for her. The plant to the right of the rose is a very old hibiscus shrub that's really been struggling lately. You're right, that is a water feature and my youngest daughter put some succulent pics that we picked up at the dollar tree on various levels of the fountain to dress it up a bit. Glad you liked it. Have a wonderful day and happy gardening. 🌿🌿🌿

I love this idea! Cant wait to see how you use the rest of your annuals. Also, I learned from one of your older videos that you use the moisture control soil from miracle grow and bough it for my potted annuals and am absolutely loving it. Also noticed the newer potted superbells on the fence and I'm amazed how small the pot itself is and how full and round it turns out! You wouldn't know it was such a small pot. One last thing, can we just get more of your sweet chocolate pup? 😅 alright thats all!

Thanks so much KeishlaMRH!! You are so kind to comment. I'm glad you tried the moisture control soil and liked it. It really does help the plants stay happy. I know what you mean about the pots on the wall. I'm limited on the size of the pot I can use because the bracket that holds the pot is only so big. Everything in me wants to give them a bigger container, but it really hasn't been a problem. The only time where they can suffer is when it's extremely hot because the pot only can hold so much moisture. Still, that really hasn't been an issue either. They grow huge no matter what. I had planted supertunias in them at first, but I think the supercells do better because they actually do like to dry out a bit. Lastly, I'm sure you'll see more of our Chocolate Millie. She always finds her way on camera. Hehe! Thanks again for your sweet comment and until next time, have a great day! 🌿🌿🌿
