Do plants grow better in pots or in the ground?

This means their surface-area-to-volume ratio is far greater, which causes them to heat up and cool down far quicker than the ground. These fluctuations in temperature can damage plant roots and compromise overall growth.
Should I put rocks at the bottom of my planter?
