Container size is important, too. It must be large enough to accommodate the plant’s roots. Tomatoes and peppers especially need large containers. Although they aren’t fancy, five-gallon buckets are excellent choices for large plants. Be sure to drill those drainage holes first, though.

TIP: Most plants also need good air circulation, so try not to overcrowd them. Keep in mind how large they will eventually grow, and leave a little space around the containers themselves, too. Gentle breezes keep foliage dry and disease free. However, try to keep containers out of strong winds that dry out soil and shred leaves.
