1. Use hanging planters and wall planters to create an imaginative backdrop to your garden scene or add color and elegance to your indoor setting.
2. Perfect for those who live in apartments or have smaller homes, space-efficient wall planters and hanging planters display blooms around the year.
3. Replace old soil with new soil every spring. Old soil loses a lot of necessary pore spaces for air and may have accumulated toxic salts from last season's fertilizing and watering.
4. Before you re-use a ceramic, resin, or vinyl planter you've stored over the winter, clean it thoroughly with water and scrub it with a firm-bristled brush.
5. You can also sanitize smaller pots by brushing and rinsing out any soil and washing them in the dishwasher without detergent.
