Can I also cultivate broom in the pot?
The easy-care and winter-hardy broom is almost the ideal garden plant, since it hardly does any work, but blooms beautifully. If you like, you can also cultivate it in a pot or bucket and beautify your terrace or balcony.
Buy broom in the pot
You can buy broom both bare root and in a pot or container. If you have the choice, choose the container or potted plant. In these plants, the root ball is well protected and remains it until planting.
Plant broom in the tub
Be sure to find a sufficiently deep bucket or a tall flower pot in which the taproot of the broom has enough space. A hole in the ground is important so that excess irrigation water can drain off directly and no waterlogging occurs. Cover it with an old potsherd or some stones so that it can not be blocked by flooding potting soil.
Fill the planter about one-third with lean soil or a mixture of potting soil and sand and put in your broom, then fill up with the chosen substrate. Press gently and pour in the broom a little.
The essentials in brief:
How do I care for broom in the pot?
As a container plant the broom needs a little more care than in the field. From time to time, the broom should be poured, because he can barely even get the water from the depth in the pot. A little fertilizer is also useful. Too much of it, however, harms the flowering.
Important for potted plants is the correct wintering. The root ball must not completely freeze, otherwise the broom will enter. Cover the bucket with protective material, such as an old blanket, jute sacks or the like. The bale should not dry out.
Tips
Although it is more commonly known as garden planting, you can also cultivate your broom in the pot.
