When planting, never crowd plants too close together. Adequate air circulation between plants allows vigorous, disease-free growth. Most gardeners plant too closely and have to thin out and separate too soon. To prevent this, consider the spread of mature plants and plant accordingly. The same applies to potted plants —planting too many plants in the same pot leads to crowding. These plants usually don’t perform well because their roots don’t have enough air space in the soil. The exception — plants that have epiphytic or succulent-type roots.
