I plant several flowers with plastic containers. Sometimes I wonder if the airtight material will affect the plants becouse the roots can't contact air. I drill some little holes on the containers, and I hope the flowers can grow well.
Do you think it is proper to plant flowers with plastic containers?

Hi! I do that too. I drill holes in the bottom of plastic containers and reuse them for potting. My primary reason for that is that plastic containers are a lot lighter. Clay pots are good, but they're too heavy for me, very inconvenient when I have to move the plants around. I think it's good to use plastic containers for planting, it's a means for earth-friendly recycling.

I have no my own house so I use simple containers to plant flowers. I love flowers very much because they make the house lively. I will have a good mood when I care them. I like to cut off a twig and put it in moist sand until it grow roots. Then plant it with earth in a container. I am happy to see it grow and grow up gradually.

Yes, I also love gardening. I get so much satisfaction from seeing a tiny seedling grow into a roobust plant. I also find it a happy occasion when a butterfly or two visits my plants! I live in a small rented house, and right now, my major problem is getting garden soil. Where we are, it's all cemented ground, and I still have to go far to buy some garden soil.
