Container plants are plants that are kept in pots or containers, often because they are not winter-hardy and cannot survive outside in cold climates. These plants can range from flowering plants to foliage plants and have different care needs, such as regular watering and feeding. Container plants can be kept indoors or outdoors, depending on the species and climate. Some popular types of container plants are citrus trees, oleanders, fuchsias, and hibiscuses. Growing container plants can be a beautiful and colorful addition to gardens, patios, and balconies.

    Garden plants thrive best in soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH value. The acidity of the soil can affect the uptake of nutrients by the roots. Therefore, it is important to regularly check the pH value of the soil and adjust it if necessary.
