Download or read book The Encyclopedia of Container Plants written by Ray Rogers and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Container gardening is ideally suited to today’s lifestyles—it provides the excitement, versatility, and variety of in-the-ground gardening to those with limited space, time, and resources. But in order to make the most of container gardening, aspiring gardeners—whether rank beginners or seasoned veterans—need to know precisely which plants perform best in containers; just as importantly, they need to know how to grow them well. Author Ray Rogers is the ideal guide to this world of colorful possibilities. An award-winning container gardener and horticulturist, he profiles more than 500 outstanding plants in 180 genera. Along with Rogers’s engaging descriptions, the entries include each plant’s height and spread; light, moisture, temperature, and soil requirements; ease and rate of growth; principal interest and design attributes; potential problems; and best method of propagation. To this abundance of useful information, Rob Cardillo’s stunning photographs add a wealth of visual inspiration. Success with container gardening isn’t always instantly achieved—it’s easy to be seduced by brightly flowering plants at a nursery or garden center that turn out to be unsuited to the growing conditions provided for them, or that make poor companions for their pot-mates. Even a brief dip into this authoritative reference, however, is sure to yield a host of plants that will show just how spectacular a well-grown—and carefully chosen—container garden can be.

Download or read book Easy Container Gardening written by Wilfred Dawson and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing plants in containers is a unique way of gardening. It is very fascinating because of the fact that the plants can be moved around for a change of pace and particular mood. In recent years, this concept has grown significantly.Container gardening is well-liked by gardeners who live in an area with restricted space or don't have the luxury of an outdoor garden. Even the smallest space can hold a container garden-a garden can be designed that will thrive no matter the space limitations-no matter if you live in a condo, in suburbia, on a farm, or in a high-rise apartment without a patio.Mobility is one great advantage, but aside from that, it is easy to remove or replace unsightly specimens. This also helps eliminate overcrowding. If you are entertaining, you can arrange them in different parts of the home, patio, etc. The colors and foliage can be mixed to create different patterns and effect. Rare and unusual varieties that have special soil and light requirements can be more easily cared for.Aside from the visual effects of container gardening, there are other reasons, which include yard conditions. If you have ever had problems with termites or moles, container gardening is certainly the key. Having gardens too close to your houses is not a wise move, because the water you use on them seeps down to your foundation and attracts termites. For those of us that have small yards or live in apartments or town-homes, container gardening may be the right choice as well.
