Pots, boxes and bowls are important accessories for plants so that they can live in them for a long time and in a definitive container. These are available in wood, terracotta, plastic and concrete. The terracotta containers (vases and bowls) are especially suitable for indoor plants and for flowering plants for balconies and terraces, because they are porous and allow the roots of the plants to breathe better; however they can easily split if they remain outdoors perennially and especially in harsh winters, because the frost hardens the earth they contain which, expanding, cracks the walls. To overcome this inconvenience, the choice falls on concrete planters. These are ideal for use in plants that will have to stay in the same place for a long time. Their fundamental characteristic that makes them enormously advantageous is that they resist to any temperature, are not attacked by atmospheric agents and also resist the strength of the roots of large plants by opposing a valid resistance. If we opt for the creation of a concrete planter, it is good to know that they can be found on the market both in the raw state and colored. If we have a particular environment and intend to insert these planters, we can in fact do it without problems as they lend themselves to being colored and enriched with friezes and bas-reliefs, making them suitable also for antique-style furniture. These concrete planters they are a resource widely used by all gardeners and gardening enthusiasts as they are inexpensive, available in different sizes, shapes and colors. The structure allows you to plant in addition to the different species of ornamental plants, even those that have as a structure trunks similar to small trees and if you choose those of large size they are also good for real trees. The structure of these concrete planters allows you to regularly carry out the functions of weeding and pruning without obstacles and without moving the plant from its place of origin. For those who buy a concrete planter it is important to make sure that a hole has been made in the bottom to allow the expulsion of excess water otherwise this could cause irreversible damage to the plant.

The concrete planters once placed in an environment they are considered eternal; in fact, especially when they are wide and high, they absolutely do not require decanting as they are designed to allow the roots to expand uniformly by exploiting the height and width. This is an important detail that the best gardeners take into consideration especially when it comes to using them for delicate plants that suffer particularly from their fragility and delicacy any type of tampering.

Concrete planters are now widespread all over the world just take a look in our cities where the administrators have used them for street furniture. Therefore, if we have a garden with a large driveway, the concrete planters can be placed in a row thus creating an ornamental fence that is of great aesthetic effect and at the same time delineates the boundary between the walkable and the cultivated part. The use of concrete planters can be very useful precisely to separate a vegetable garden from a pedestrian passage, so as to also constitute a form of fence for the containment of the soil especially in the rainy months that otherwise could overflow, taking away the lifeblood of crops and provoke the emergence of the roots which, in the open, risk drying up or breaking until they die completely, frustrating our efforts to care and maintain a beautiful and thriving garden.

In centers with a large supply of gardening materials, it is possible to choose concrete planters of different colors. However, at DIY centers they can also be found in their natural state so that those who buy them have the opportunity to paint them with the color they prefer and above all more suited to the environment in which they are placed. Many people prefer this type of planter to make collages using small colored pebbles to give a new design and a touch of elegance or affinity of type and colors such as it can have a bench, a concrete table or a fountain in a large garden. It is obvious that this type of embellishment must be done before grafting the plants or seeds as the use of adhesives could damage them. The shape of a concrete planter depends on the cast used. Based on this, planters of all kinds are then made. The concrete planter can also be used as a simple container for small pots therefore, assume only the function of embellishment or it can also host a central plant with deep roots such as a lemon plant and perhaps surrounded by small jars of floral plants for give a chromatic effect to the sharp and monochromatic color of the citrus fruit. The concrete planters are made with this natural product (cement) which does not prevent the plant from developing and above all does not contain toxic agents, nor does it cause chemical reactions when particular types of fertilizers and fertilizers are used.

The size of a concrete planter must always be of adequate size with respect to the plant to be grafted. It is therefore appropriate to carefully study the principles of the art of gardening which allows us to know how many roots the plant we intend to graft contains and the squaring of the planter we want to buy. For this reason it is advisable to contact specialized centers, possibly nurseries which, by treating large plants, know by heart the needs in terms of size of planter of each single plant or stem. The concrete planters as already mentioned can be of different sizes and shapes. If we intend to set up a round type, for example, it is important to know that the roots tend to grow as soon as they find space available so it should be borne in mind that this type of round-shaped planter generally has a wide base that towards the central part narrows and therefore this detail must be taken into account. In fact, the roots grow in the image of the circumference and at a certain point they could undergo such bottlenecks as to slow down growth or completely interrupt the reproductive cycle. To avoid this unpleasant inconvenience, then in these large shaped planters it is important to graft only those plants that develop in height (climbing) and consequently the roots under the ground will also be long-limbed and tend to follow their deeds therefore, without the risk of choke.
