Of course, you need to care for all of the plants you have so that they are in their best condition for customers. One thing you need to think about is what type of plant pots they are going to be supplied in.

This plays a huge part in how they are going to look to consumers. Here are some tips on how to choose the best plant pots for your garden center.

Consider the Material

One of the most important decisions you have to make when you are supplying plants is what plant pots, they are going to be sold in.

 In other words, you need to think carefully about the material you choose for your garden center. The typical materials you can select include:

  • Ceramic
  • Wood
  • Metal
  • Plastic
  • Concrete

All of them are going to offer something different. But we are going to cut to the chase and say that plastic plant pots are the best for garden centers to use.

This is for a variety of reasons. Namely, they are durable and long-lasting, which means they can sit out in all weather conditions. They will not smash in the wind like ceramic or discolor like concrete in the rain.

In addition, plastic is cost-effective, which is something that every garden center wants to hear. You are going to be supplying a lot of plants and you need an economic choice.

For example, you can check out plastic pots at Dejex, which is one of the leading providers of professional horticulture supplies in the UK.

They have a variety of pots that you can choose from and which will allow you to select the best ones for your garden center.

Ensure There is Drainage

If there is one thing that your plant pots need, it is going to be drainage. Of course, most plants need plenty of water in order to survive. This is particularly true during the summer months and when the plants are young.

However, you have to ensure that there is no excess water in the pot, as this can lead to rotting roots, fungus and bacteria growth, and even the plant drowning.

Thus, you need to ensure that the plant pots you choose allow drainage. This means that the plants can breathe and there is no water pooling at the bottom of the pot.

Work Out the Size

When you are selling plants in a garden center, you want to enjoy that they are all going to be in optimum health when they are collected by customers.

People expect to purchase them and for the plants to be strong and ready to plant in the soil or in their own plant pots.

But the reality is, they can be in the nursery for a long time beforehand. This can be because you want them to mature or simply because nobody has bought them yet.

Thus, you have to make sure that the plants are in the best plant pots. This involves choosing the correct size that is going to allow plants to grow.

Often, this includes choosing plant pots a few inches larger. You want to make sure that you have the right sizes as this really makes a difference.

Consider the Colour

When it comes to selling plants at a garden center, you need to ensure that the presentation is good. After all, you want customers to shop and purchase the plants you have spent time nurturing.

Often, this means that you have to consider what plant pots look like. Customers can be picky and you need to make sure pots suit the plants.

Thankfully plant pots are available in a variety of colors. This even includes plastic which can be purchased in black, terracotta, and grey, as well as some other colors.

Know the Price

The truth is, some materials are more affordable than others. This is going to be a consideration for garden centers that are going to be supplying a lot of plants to customers.

You will find that plastic is often the most affordable and it can be purchased in bulk from wholesalers.

Since plastic plant pots offer a variety of other advantages, this can be a cost-effective option for your business.
