How To Establish Container Culture Gardening In Your UAE Balconies This Season?

Growing pot plants and boosting container culture gardening is truly epic for your balconies in Dubai. However, you must know how to manage container gardening during the changing seasons. So, in this blog, you read enough points about the container culture and get familiar with container plant caring tips like a pro.

The Pro Tips To Establish A Container Culture Gardening This Season In Your Dubai Apartment Balconies Are:

 

Don’t take the drainage system of the containers for granted. Most often, when you buy containers from nurseries or other shops, drainage holes aren’t enough. On average, the drainage hole size should be ½ inch in diameter, given that we are talking about smaller or medium-sized containers or pots.

For larger pots or containers, the size increases to at least 1 inch in diameter. Also, when the fall is approaching, you can put in gravel and stone at the bed of the pot. This is one smart trick to balance container culture gardening and its beauty when plants don’t need much watering in fall and winters.

Keep similar plants together even when growing in a different container. Did you know that plants often form their own microenvironment?

That’s because multiple outdoor balcony plants have different light, watering, and soil needs. For instance, some of them need full direct sunlight (Calathea, ZZ Plant, and Succulents) but others can thrive and bloom in partial to full shade (Spider plant, Beach Hibiscus, and Crape Jasmine).

So, as a gardener, it’s your duty to put the plants with similar needs together. This way, changing seasons won’t harm them much together.

You can give them less water in the fall and winter. Then watch them rest well instead of taking away their neighbouring plant’s goodness and beauty.

Remind yourself about unusual plant habits with plant tags outside these containers. When you’re new to container gardening and that too in the changing season in Dubai, you ought to make blunders.

But to establish the best container culture gardening, make use of the plant tags. Mark the tags as per their unusual habits, blooming period, watering and sunlight needs. This way, as soon as you enter your balcony, you know which plant needs to be looked after more often.

This trick makes you an expert of container plants in no time. That’s especially when you’re starting off as a beginner for growing these plants in your Dubai or other UAE homes.

Pick a theme for your small garden or balcony. Containers boost the beauty of your compact and tiny Apartment balconies, gardens, and yards. That’s applied even when the season is changing.

So, pick a theme to dress up your Dubai balconies better than ever. Bring home Garden Me UAE’s colourful plants like Lipstick Plant, Vinca, and B. Pink Pixie. These plants bloom easily from summer to fall. And some might even bloom the entire year!

That means you don’t have to keep pruning the leaves or flowers. There are higher chances of your garden looking as fresh, amazing, contoured, and loved as ever.

Choose the type of containers carefully. Gardeners think that using one container type is sufficient for the entire year, irrespective of the location. But that’s totally wrong and is actually a myth.

Know that clay or terracotta pots and containers will add beauty to your gardens. But these are breakable, even more so in fall and winters when the temperature drops quite low. Also, these pots can’t help perennials or shrubs like Holy Basil, Yellow Bells, and Ficus Panda grow well as they are kept the entire year outdoors.

Similarly, polyurethane foam containers are the best alternative to clay or terracotta containers to grow outdoor plants in any season.
