The first thing is to select the area of ​​the house or flat where we will install our flowerpot. The main rule is that it must be well lit and be as spacious as possible, since, so that the plants do not dry out and last longer without water, it is necessary to use large pots.

This means that if, for example, you decide to grow your own food in the terrace from home, it is advisable that you remove all the things you can so that there is more space for the containers. In this sense, it is better to plant two or three in large pots than many in small pots.
