Frequently Asked Questions on Large Planters

How do I fill a large planter?

Start with a layer of drainage material, then fill with a quality potting mix suited to your plants. For planters 16–21 inches in circumference, use a lightweight filler like upturned nursery pots in the bottom third to save on soil and improve drainage, then top with potting mix.

What should I plant in a large planter?

Large planters, especially those in the 16–21 inch range, are ideal for statement plants, small trees, and layered arrangements. Their generous size gives roots room to spread, making them perfect for both single showstopper plants and thriving combinations.

Why should I choose a large planter over a smaller one?

Large planters hold more soil, which means better moisture retention and healthier root development. This translates to less frequent watering and more resilient, established plants. For planters in the 16–21 inch range, the added size also opens the door to bolder, more dramatic plantings—think small trees or full, layered arrangements—that simply wouldn't thrive in a smaller pot.

Does the size of my planter affect drainage?

Yes, larger planters require thoughtful drainage to prevent waterlogged roots. A 16–21 inch planter holds a substantial volume of soil, so proper drainage holes and a base layer of gravel or lightweight filler are essential to keep excess water moving freely away from the roots.
