URBAN PLANTER BOXES

Knowing when to give your plants more space is key to a thriving urban garden. Upgrading to larger planter boxes isn't just about aesthetics; it's crucial for plant health. Watch for these five clear signs. First, roots growing out of the drainage holes or circling the soil surface indicate a root-bound plant. Second, if your plant requires watering unusually frequently—every day or even twice a day—the root mass may be too large for the current container. Third, stunted growth or smaller-than-expected new leaves often signals restricted roots. Fourth, if the plant becomes top-heavy and tips over easily, it needs a larger, more stable base. Finally, visibly degraded or cracked planter boxes compromise both structure and root health. Upgrading before these issues severely stress the plant allows for a smoother transition and continued vigorous growth in your urban oasis.
