Are your urban planter box plants trying to tell you something? Just like people, plants need adequate space to thrive. When confined too long in cramped quarters, they'll show clear distress signals. The most obvious sign is roots escaping through drainage holes or circling tightly at the soil surface - this root-bound condition means your plant has exhausted its current home. Watch for slowed growth despite proper care; if your plant hasn't produced new leaves in weeks, it's likely pleading for more room. Other red flags include soil that dries out unusually fast or water running straight through without absorbing - both indicate more roots than soil. Yellowing lower leaves and general droopiness can also signal space deprivation. For edible plants, reduced harvests often trace back to cramped roots. The solution? Gently slide your plant from its container during the growing season. If you see more white roots than brown soil, it's time to upgrade to a planter that's 2-3 inches wider. Your urban garden will reward you with lush growth and vibrant health when you give those roots the space they deserve.
