🌳 Perfect Pot Preparation Guide for Healthy Tree Growth

Here you will learn the proper way to prepare your pots before planting a beautiful tree. Before we get started, I’m giving you a full guarantee — if you follow this technique with a good drainage soil or potting mix, you’ll never face any water clogging issues in your plants again. 🌿

🎥 Watch the process

Step 1: Check the Drainage Holes

Make sure the holes at the bottom of your pot are clearly open. This is crucial because blocked holes can trap water, suffocating your plant roots. Use a screwdriver or stick to gently unclog them if needed.

Step 2: Cover the Holes with Stones or Pot Pieces

Place a few big stones or broken pot shards over the holes. This prevents soil from blocking the drainage path while still allowing excess water to flow out easily.

Step 3: Add a Layer of Small Stones

After covering the large holes, add a layer of small stones. This improves air circulation and helps water drain smoothly through the bottom layers.

Step 4: Add a Thin Layer of Sand

Now sprinkle a thin layer of sand and pour some water over it. This allows the sand to settle and fill gaps between small stones — creating a perfect filter layer that stops soil from clogging the drainage system.

Step 5: Add Soil and Plant Your Tree

Finally, fill your pot with nutrient-rich soil mix according to your plant’s requirement. Pot your tree gently, press the soil lightly around it, and water enough to moisten the layers. You’ll notice that water drains beautifully, leaving your soil perfectly moist but never soggy.
