    Thanks for sharing. At the beginning I killed many plants by overwatering. I understood it later.

    Bonjour what I wish I knew before is the importance of mulching. I can't believe it took me that long to realize this! I was good since I started with composting ( even easier now with my Bokashi) and keeping pots well watered. Thank you for sharing.

      This is such great advice, thanks so much for sharing! Mulching is a game changer 🙌🏻.

    My advice would be, don't use terracotta pots if you have a full ☀balcony... unless you want to water 3 times a day... I have experienced that myself during hot summers 🥵 or windy 🌬days. 😮‍💨😅

      Haha so true, soil dries out very quickly in terracotta pots! Thanks for sharing 💚!

    Thank you for amazing video. I wanted to ask how to fix over watering for containers. I have windows between east south so I have less exposure in Summer. I have used all purpose potting mix with vermiculite 1:1. But I still see overwatering as the problem for many dieing plants in basket. I would highly appreciate your advice. Thank you ❤

      Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Vermiculite has a high water-holding capacity, so adding a little bit will prevent the soil from drying out too quickly. But with 50% vermiculite, the soil will most likely be permanently wet and this is what causes the plants to rot, unfortunately 🫤. Perlite would be a better option, it improves drainage and aeration in the soil.

    Hola amiga!👋 Great topic!👍 I wish I would have known that wind drys out containers, so during windy days, you must water more.💕
