Express Layout Plan (in 4 steps)
Step 1: Choose your containers
Go for colorful pots, wooden or wicker planters. Vary heights and use ladders or supports to energize the space.
Step 2: Assemble your substrate
Mix water retention & drainage: 50% universal potting soil + 30% compost + 20% perlite or fiber. Fertilaine Tip: a little integrated into the preparation helps to nourish throughout the season.
Step 3: Compose your plantings
Combine:
- A structuring plant (e.g. stipa, lavender).
- Decorative foliage (heuchera, coleus).
- Long-flowering plants (petunias, calibrachoas).
- A useful aromatic plant (mint, basil).
Step 4: Maintain your pots
Regulate watering, deadhead spent flowers, and add Fertilaine 4 to 6 weeks after planting to boost vigor.
Why Fertilaine enhances your potted garden
