There's nothing that says spring more than colorful containers overflowing with bright blooms. But, experts say there's one mistake to be aware of in April that could set back your spring display and sabotage your summer pots – and it's all to do with moisture management.
As spring arrives, container gardening becomes a bit more challenging. Soil dries out faster, not just from pots being elevated off the ground, but also from warmer temps. Gardening pros say ignoring this environmental change can hinder root health, kill off plants prematurely, and even turn your potting mix hydrophobic, making future planting tricky.
