Draft:Container Plants

Container gardening, also known as pot gardening or farming, involves growing plants exclusively in containers instead of planting them in the ground. Containers used in gardening can be pots, boxes, tubs, baskets, tins, barrels, or hanging baskets. This method is popular for ornamental purposes and is particularly useful in areas where the soil or climate is unsuitable for certain plants. It is also essential for houseplants and is favored in urban areas where traditional gardening space is limited. Various types of plants can be grown in containers, including decorative flowers, herbs, cacti, vegetables, small trees, and shrubs. Container gardening allows for flexibility in design and is commonly seen on porches, front steps, balconies of apartments, and rooftops in urban settings.
