Maintenance

To properly maintain your container, and for best results:

  • Prepare the container with a good quality soil suitable for containers (e.g. 3-parts potting mix to 1-part well-rotted compost). There should be a minimum soil depth of 30 cm for perennials, 45 cm for shrubs and 60 cm for trees.
  • Every spring, apply 2.5 cm of good quality compost to your container (try not to pile it up around woody stems).
  • Remove weeds as required, and inspect for pests and disease every week or two in the spring and summer.
  • Ensure the container has adequate drainage and that plants receive a minimum of 5 cm of water weekly during the spring and summer.
  • Remove and compost 'spent' blooms and leaves in the fall.
  • Prune only to remove misplaced or damaged stems as needed during the summer. The plants suggested here should not require pruning to reduce size.
