Pots that are planted in the ground are generally peat pots that are made of either compressed peat moss or a mixture of cardboard and peat moss. Other plant posts for placing in the ground are made of thin layers of cardboard. All of these pots can be planted outdoors, resulting in less stress for the transplanted plant than if it were taken out of a pot and replanted.
Things You'll Need
Spade or trowel
Choose a spot that gets the right amount of sun for your plants. Many pants thrive in full sun exposure, but some plants prefer a shady spot or an area that gets sun for only part of the day.
Dig a hole in the spot that you chose. The hole must be deep enough that the pot can fit into the hole up to the top edge of the pot.
Drench peat pots with water. The entire pot and all of the soil should be wet. Keep watering the pots until the water drains out of the bottom.
Tear the bottom of the pot to let the roots spread out through the bottom of the pot. If the pot is already crumbling, loosen or crumble the bottom to make it easier for the roots to escape.
Plant the pot into the hole. Replace the soil that you removed, pressing it around the plant to keep air pockets form forming.
Water the plant once it is in the ground. By soaking the ground around the plant, you will help the roots to establish themselves in the soil.
