Plants in Pots / Buckets

I love Plants in Buckets. We put them on balcony or terrace trough the season and then when the winter comes we have to move them into a bright room with temperature between 5 and 15°C. We have to keep in mind that evergreen plants need more water. We have to water them every two weeks.

Some of the plants can spend the winter in warm room. We should watering and fertilizing them regular.

Citrus


They prefer sunny location. Citrus needs permeable soil. In the winter we put them into a bright room with temperature 5 - 10°C. We have to water them every 6 - 8 weeks. At higher temperatures we have to water them more often. Try not to water them with the tap water because it contains too much lime. Because of the lime leaves may turn yellow and fall off.

Oleander


It thrives on sunny and half shadow locations. Oleander is an evergreen shrub with lush flowers. If we want to have as many flowers as possible we have to make sure that we don`t put it in too warm place in the winter season. Oleander is poisonous.
