Here are some tips to help you make the most of your DIY window box planters:

Make sure to add drain holes. In whatever window box you choose to make, be sure to add drain holes for extra water to exit the box. This will help your window boxes last longer and keep your flowers happier.
Plant the right kind of plants. Think about the amount of sun your flower box is going to see every day and choose flowers that will flourish in that amount of light. I also think vining plants look great in flower boxes since they drape down. But if you do add vining plants, make sure you maintain them so they don’t become overgrown, or worse, start growing on your home’s siding.
Use the right kind of wood. When making a wooden box, choose the right kind of wood for your area. Cedar and pine can stand up to many elements, but do your research and pick one that is best for your area.
