For beginners, understanding the ABC of gardening is essential, starting from the basics, like selecting the right pots and understanding soil and plant nutrition.

To ensure that plants grow well, select pots that allow proper breathing and drainage. Earthen pots, particularly those that are fired and unglazed, are recommended as they provide good results.

Yes, earthen pots are considered the best for plant growth. Following that, ceramic and plastic pots can also be used, but they have different properties and may affect plant growth in various ways.

It is okay to paint earthen pots, but use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint to ensure that the pot's pores remain open, allowing the pot, similar to the plant, to "breathe."

Avoid using cement or concrete pots in high temperatures because they can trap heat, which might double the outside temperature, damaging the plant's roots, especially those plants with delicate roots.

During the summer, plastic pots might not be the best choice for some plants due to the heat. The material can get very hot and can "boil" the plant's roots, especially if the plant is placed in full sun.

The next episode or video will cover the importance of the type of soil used for gardening, which is as critical as the choice of pots. It will discuss what soil should be considered the "backbone" for healthy plant growth.
