Glass Container Gardening Tips
A lot of people are frightened of gardening because it can be time-consuming and messy. But that doesn’t have to be the case! It really is easy to grow plants in a glass container.
If you’re starting out with an empty container, wash it thoroughly with soapy water or white vinegar. You can also use some bleach if you want to get rid of any germs or bacteria.
After washing your container, rinse it out with warm water.
When planting your flowers, start by filling the bottom third up with potting soil. Then place the flowers into the potting soil before topping off with more potting soil until you have reached the top of your container.
After planting, add about an inch of water to the top of your flower pot and make sure all the dirt has been dampened. You don’t want it too wet or too dry, but you want most of the dirt moistened. Now your plant is ready for its new home!
