Choosing the Right Pots for Your Plants

Size Matters

Choose a pot that’s 2–4 inches larger in diameter than your plant. Smaller pots suit geraniums and bedding plants but need frequent watering. Large pots are better for shrubs and trees, offering more room for root growth and better moisture retention.

Shapes for Different Plants

  • Tall, narrow pots – Ideal for deep-rooted plants like Italian plants, topiary and olive trees
  • Wide, shallow bowls – Great for alpines, succulents, or trailing bedding plants
  • Classic round pots – Versatile for bedding, herbs, and mixed displays

Materials to Match Your Style

  • Terracotta – Timeless and breathable, though porous and best sheltered in frost
  • Plastic – Lightweight, easy to clean, and frost-resistant
  • Ceramic – Decorative and durable, but heavier and fragile
  • Metal – Stylish and modern, but may need lining to prevent heat buildup
  • Wood – Rustic charm but needs treating or lining to prevent rot

Don’t Forget Drainage

Good drainage is vital. Ensure pots have holes or add crocks at the base to prevent waterlogging. Woolpit Nurseries stocks a range of pot feet and saucers to complete your setup.

More Than Just Pots

Woolpit Nurseries also stocks compost, topsoil and manure, bark and mulch, and grow bags – everything you need to plant up your new containers.
