Choosing the Right Large Pots for Mediterranean & Exotic Plants

When you are cultivating Mediterranean or exotic plants, it is essential that you select the appropriate large pot for their health and longevity. Sutton Manor Nursery offers a wide range of large pots that are ideal for heat-tolerant plants such as olive trees and citrus plants.

Best Pots for Mediterranean Plants

• Olive Trees – Do well in large terracotta pots with holes to let air into the soil.
• Citrus Plants – Need glazed pots so that they can retain water during hot weather.
• Palm Trees – Employ iron stone pots for support as well as for insulating reasons.

Growth Guidelines for Exotic Plants in Large Pots

• Size it right – Provide the roots with enough space to grow.
• Where to put it – Put in sunny, sheltered spots to encourage healthy growth.
• Water wisely – Mediterranean plants like well-draining soil.

To stimulate growth, apply top-quality compost and mulch to keep the soil structured. Turn pots occasionally to provide them with equal sunlight exposure, so one side doesn’t dry out. Liquid fertilisers for Mediterranean plants also prevent their lush leaves and fruiting from getting out of hand.
