In regard to container gardening one of the most important aspects is to check containers for drainage. Unless you are planting a bog plant, all plants in containers will require drainage to prevent their roots from becoming waterlogged and being deprived of the oxygen they need to survive. Make sure therefore, that the pot you use has holes for drainage, and if they are not there, make them yourself. To doubly ensure that your plants do not become waterlogged, keep them at their peak and at their happiest by placing an inch or so of gravel, stone, rocks or crocks from broken pots you may have lying about, in the bottom of you pot.
