    Mulch is a layer of organic material applied around plants to keep the soil moist, reduce weed growth, and regulate the temperature of the soil. It can consist of compost, wood chips, leaves, or straw and is renewed annually to keep the plants healthy. Mulch also helps retain nutrients in the soil and protects roots from frost in the winter.

    Most container plants prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH value between 5.0 and 6.5. It is important to regularly check the acidity of the soil and adjust it if necessary with fertilizers or soil conditioners.
