Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid in Terrace Gardening

If your pots don’t have holes at the bottom, water can get stuck and cause root rot. Always use pots with drainage holes.

1. No Drainage in Pots

Heavy garden soil holds too much water and blocks air. Use a light mix of compost, cocopeat, and a little soil to help roots grow and drain well.

2. Using the Wrong Soil

Plants don’t need water every day. Check the soil with your finger, if it feels dry, then water.

3. Overwatering Your Plants
