Keeping a colorful container garden is pretty simple with a few maintenance tips.

Make sure you pick healthy plants. It’s even better if you choose a mix of flowers that have similar requirements for water and sunlight. Using a simple round pot is ideal for most plants. Choosing the right size makes for a better-looking garden. The pot should be around one-third of the size of the matured plant. If the plant stops growing then check to make sure the roots are not crowded.

Key Takeaways:
