When planning to pot herbs or plants, you need to make sure you buy the right pot. If you are only planning to grow one or two herbs, then you can use a smaller one but make sure that it is deep enough. Another option is to get a large pot and plant a few herbs together. Make sure the container you use has adequate drainage, as herbs do not like overly wet soil. Choosing the right material is important too. Choose something that’s durable enough to be kept outdoors, but light enough to be brought in if the weather gets bad. Terracotta is a great choice because it is relatively cheap and lightweight.
