Pot plants

bermary

Can anyone give me any advice on how to look after plants many of which I have in pots, things like should they be watered during winter and how to protect them from frost. Thanks in advance.

It depends on the type of plants, some may need bringing in while others are fine out in the frost/snow, which plants specificaly are you wanting to know about?

Very few can cope with complete dryness so give a very little water early on a few of the warmish days if it hasn't rained for a while, but not on cold ones as it will freeze round the roots
For frost protection you can buy horticultural fleece to wrap around the plants, or if they are larger ones like acers use bubble wrap or I buy BBQ covers in the sales and use on the bigger plants (prop them up on sticks poked into the soil)
Like Ambidou says it depends what you have got but I suspect you may be something of a beginner so may not know
Summer bedding will go to mush in the first frost but you can always leave in the pots to see if it rises from the dead in Spring - some like antirrhinum, and diascia are actually fairly hardy and may regenerate for another year
