What to Look for in a Fall Flower or Potted Plant
There are a few main factors you want to look for when choosing fall flowers or potted plants. If you keep these main factors in mind, you will have a Fall flowerpot that is both beautiful and sustainable throughout the entire season.
Plants that Withstand Cooler Temps
You are going to want to find plants and flowers that can withstand the cooler temperatures of fall going into winter. Nothing would be worse than finding these gorgeous plants and handcrafting your own fall flowerpot arrangement just to have them wither and die from the colder weather.
While you still have some leeway with temperature, as it isn’t winter yet, you want to make sure that your plants are hardy enough to withstand the cooler temperatures. Especially if they are in an area that won’t be getting a lot of sunlight.
Coloring
Coloring and foliage are a must when it comes to choosing plants for your fall planter. You don’t want plants that will look too summery. The whole point is to have great autumn accents within your arrangement.
Go for the deep reds, golds, and some forest greens to make your arrangements really pop. Lighter colors such as bright green, blues, and pinks are better suited for a spring or summer flower pot. So you might want to save those kinds of plants for that specific time of the year.
Plants that Retain Water
You must find plants and flowers that are great at retaining water. Since fall can be a drier part of the year, choose plants that go without constant rain for periods of time. Like succulents, for example. Also due to the cooler weather, watering the plants becomes a less frequent thing due to the cooler temperature preserving water within the soil.
The spring and summer sun can wipe out moisture from the soil rapidly. So while you’d have to water three to four times a week during these hotter months, you shouldn’t have to water that frequently during the cooler months of the year.
Where to Display Your Fall Flowers
It’s important to find a great place to display your fall flowers so that everyone can see them. Then they can become a main decorative point in your yard or home. You don’t want your flowers to be hidden since you’ve already put in all the hard work and you should want to show your flowers off proudly.
Patio
Placing your fall flowers on a patio is one of the best places you can show off. Having a flowerpot right up in the front of your house is an unmistakable way for all visitors to see your flowers. There are so many options when placing fall flowerpots outside your house.
You can have them nestled by the front steps or use two different plants and have one on each side of your front door. If you have some rocking chairs on your patio, place a larger arrangement right in the middle for some added décor while you’re relaxing.
Front Deck
Arranging gorgeous flowerpots on a front deck is also a must as you have so much space and room to show your flowers off. A super cute idea is to get a few different flowerpots and put your arrangements on each post of your deck.
Of course, you’d have to make sure that the deck railing is wide enough. You wouldn’t want your flowers to go plummeting down off the side. Using a front deck to place flowers is a wonderful idea as you can hang your pots. Place them on the deck edges or have them leading up to the deck on stairs.
On Your Steps
There’s just something very decorative about placing flower arrangements on steps. You can make this a very cute concept by interchanging pot colors and mixing up the fall flowers that you choose for these arrangements.
Whether you are decorating deck steps or steps up to the front of your house, you have so many options to make your entire home look so much cozier with beautiful fall flowers leading guests up to your home. You can even spruce these arrangements up by adding in some small pumpkins closer to thanksgiving.
Window Ledges
For a chic look, add some fall flowerpots to window ledges to give a pop of Fall colors around your entire home. Whether you are placing flowerpots on outside ledges or indoor ledges, you can’t go wrong placing flowers in these kinds of areas.
Plus, it’s great for your plants because there is plenty of sunlight for your plants. Which is especially great for your indoor plants. This just looks great, and your guests will be sure to see them whether they are inside or outside due to their primo spot.
Hanging Plants
Hanging planters have been used for years due to their versatility and great look. These can pretty much hang anywhere you’d like. But they are most commonly hung around the porch or patio area outside.
You can also hang these planters from trees throughout your yard or even from a deck railing on the outside or inside of your deck area. Another tip is to also get staked outdoor plant hangers with ornate tops to bring a depth of elegance to your garden area.
This is also a great way to keep delicate plants out of the grasp of animals who would otherwise eat these kinds of plants, such as deer or rabbits.
Moveable Planters
Moveable planters are convenient because you can create an arrangement and move it where and when you see fit. These planters are usually made from lightweight, durable materials so you can move them without straining your back or needing help.
These planters will look great on your patio or your deck. Even placed in clusters throughout corners of your home. What’s great about these planters is that you can adjust them exactly to your liking and move them around as you see fit.
