Pot-Ups with Mediterranean, Native and Waterwise Plants
Create A Pot-Up For The Locals
When it comes to container recipes, the options are endless. Consider including California natives, along with plant varieties that thrive in our Mediterranean climate, or are waterwise. You’ll reap the benefits of local pollinators in your garden and the plants you select will feel at home and flourish in their new space.
- Native plants have evolved to coexist in our local geography and climate, and they can hold their own when soil is poor and water is unpredictable.
- Waterwise plants have low water requirements, requiring very little maintenance and pest management.
- Plants that do well in our Mediterranean Climate will add year-round interest to your garden, thriving with local precipitation cycles, inviting beneficial wildlife to play.
Planting tips to get you started:
- Select pottery with a drainage hole and a saucer. You can adjust the recipes according to the size of your pot.
- Use GreenAll® Natural & Organic Potting Soil, a ready-to-use natural, organic soil for growing indoor and outdoor container plants.
- Add E.B. Stone™ Organics Sure Start Fertilizer, a natural, organic fertilizer to help roots get established quickly so they are able to take up water and nutrients more efficiently.
