Is there a difference between indoor and outdoor planters?
outdoor planters are open to the elements such as rain and will need good drainage to keep the boxes from over watering; indoor planters are quite the opposite. Often they will have no drainage and will need ways to manage overflow. Planters with wheels give the flexibility to roll planters outside and inside depending on the season. Keep in mind, however, that if a planter has drain holes for outside, it will definitely need a drip pan to catch the drainage when it’s rolled inside for use.
What are the three types of planters?
The planter you choose will affect how the quickly soil dries out, how well a plant grows, and how healthy the roots are. There are three major categories of pots: ceramic/glazed, terra cotta/clay, and plastic. I’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each category. Ceramic pots for plants encourage healthier roots Plastic tends to trap heat and moisture, often leading to soggy soil and weak or rotting roots. Ceramic pots, by contrast, allow gradual evaporation and better temperature regulation, which helps keep the soil from becoming overly compacted or waterlogged.
