Summer Combo Planter

Combo-pot

  • 12 to 16 inch Pot or Planter of your choice
  • 1-16 Quart Bag Linder’s ProThrive Potting Mix
  • 1 Red New Guinea Impatiens
  • 1 Yellow Reiger Begonia (Begonia x hiemalis)
  • 2-3 ‘Diamond Frost’ Euphorbia
  • 2-3 ‘Charmed Series’ Shamrock Plant-purple leaves (Oxalis sp.)
  • Linder’s ProThrive Liquid Fertilizer

1. Fill Container 3/4 full of potting soil.

2. Remove New Guinea Impatiens and Reiger Begonia from their containers, scoop back soil and place the two plants in the center of your container. Make sure the base of both plants will be 1/2 inch below the rim of the planter.

3. Place other plants (Euphorbia and Oxalis) alternating around New Guinea Impatens and Reiger Begonia. Firm up around plants with potting soil.

4. Put remaining potting soil around plants and level the surface.

5. Mix Linder’s ProThrive Liquid Fertilizer with water and thoroughly water plants.

Place your container in a part sun location, water when needed (daily when it gets hot!), fertilize weekly and enjoy all summer!
