🌸 Spring Care

• Water every 2–3 days, depending on temperature and sunlight.
• Don’t rely on light spring rain—give your container a full, slow soak to reach the root zone.
• If temperatures reach 70°F or higher, water every other day.
• Spring planters can handle cold, even snow. However, during a hard frost warning (below 30°F), protect with a light frost cloth or bed sheet.
• Avoid plastic covers, which can damage plants.

 ☀️ Summer Care

• Consistent watering is essential, especially during hot weather.
• Above 80°F: Water daily, ideally in the morning. Slowly soak the container, wait, then soak again.
• 60–70°F: Water every other day.
• Be sure to water thoroughly, reaching all sides and the center of the pot.
• Even after rain, check your planter to ensure it’s properly hydrated.
• Shade-loving plant mixes may need slightly less water, but still check regularly. 

🍂 Fall Care (Mums + Grasses) 

• Mums and fall grasses thrive in cooler temperatures but still need consistent watering.
• Water every 2–3 days during mild weather.
• Above 75°F: Check daily and water as needed.
• Mums are sensitive to dry soil—always aim for moist (not soggy) conditions.
• Remove spent blooms to extend the blooming season.
• If temperatures dip below freezing, mums may fade early. Grasses and trailing greens typically hold their shape and color through the first frost.

❄️ Winter Care (Evergreen Porch Pots)

• Your winter container is filled with fresh, cut greens—not living plants—so minimal care is needed.
• After the initial soak, check weekly:
• If there’s snow or rain, you’re good!
• If it’s dry and above 45°F, water lightly to keep the greens hydrated and prevent drying.
• No need to water below freezing—your arrangement will stay beautiful with minimal input.
