Make Use of Potted Plants in Pool Landscaping

Looking to landscape your pool area but don’t have time or space to plant? Potted plants can transform a boring pool area into an oasis outdoor space. A great bonus is that potted plants are portable which means you can change up your pool area by season or when the design-itch hits! Here are some tips on decorating with potted plants around your pool:

• Potted plants need to be watered frequently. They can dry out faster than in-ground plants because of increased exposure to warm air.
• Group potted plants for privacy or shade.
• Consider the use of plant stands to combine a mix of pots and plants on different levels.
• Decorate with different types of pots for a mix or create a pot theme.
• Positioning potted plants close together can give the illusion of a landscaped bed of flowers.
• Break up your outdoor pool space with potted plants from one to the other such as by an entranceway, gate, or eating area.
