SEASONAL PLANTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Get ready for the BLOOMS!

Summer Part Sun Pink Planter
This planter is a pop of pink in part sun. And now that all the rain has passed these planters are ready for some HEAT & humidity to get them really going.

The center plant is a cordyline and will get more chartreuse pink which you may see as the new leaves come up. The caladiums, broad pink leaves coming up around the center cordyline will also flourish over the next few weeks. As leaves fade just snip them back at the base – careful not to cut other new stems.

The potato vine will do its thing and will probably wilt first if it really dries out. Later in summer you will want to trim these back before they flow on to the ground.

As always – water when soil is dry to the touch (not Sahara dry, I went to the beach for 8 days and left it). That will likely be a couple times a week at the beginning of summer and more as temps get really high towards the end of July/August.

Don’t forget to send us pictures of your big pink leaves!

Full Sun Meadow Planter
This planter loves sun and pollinators. The purple plant is a Mona Lavendar Plectranthus, and the wispy white one is a Gaura – both often overlooked in nurseries because they really come into their own in about another month. The other center plant will bloom bright yellow Black Eyed Susans during mid summer.

While these plants love heat and sun they still need to be watered when they get dry. This will be between 2 times a week at the beginning of summer to every other day when temperatures soar.

Trick to continuous blooms

Pinch back the flower stems as they fade to help promote new blooms.

Recycle or Compost

The insert container is largely upcycled paper pulp waste so the entire insert can be fully composted or thrown away.
