Common Container Gardening Mistakes
Overwatering
The #1 killer of container plants. Soggy soil suffocates roots. Always check soil moisture before watering.
Poor Drainage
Containers need drainage holes. No holes = waterlogged roots = root rot = dead plants.
Wrong Light
Most edibles need 6-8 hours of direct sun. Shade-lovers burn in full sun. Match plants to your light.
