Question

the plant in the pot is not growing well

Answer 1

Answer:

Potting soil is often less dense than garden soil and thus holds less water. Additionally, the pot restricts the amount of soil to hold water. And because the pots are above ground, they don't have all that mass around them to keep cool. Too much or too little water will kill your plants.
