Hoe or Shovel
Both hoe and shovel have the same purpose to dig the soil or growing media in the new pot, and then cover it up again after the plant has been transferred. For example, when you recently purchase a plant then bringing it home, you will have to move the plant into a new pot or directly plant it within the soil.

When you are purchasing a hoe or shovel for gardening at home, it’s better to pick one that has a sharp point. This will allow you to dig deeper into a condensed soil or cut some vines. Choose one with stainless steel for better durability.
Gloves
Gardening at home means that you must be ready to be covered in dirt. After gardening, you can definitely go straight to shower to clean up. However, some dirt can get inside your nails, which will be harder to clean.

However, you should not choose a planter carelessly. You need to consider the type of your plant and the laying area.
Make sure that the planter that you’ve chosen has tiny holes for drainage. Then, as the time comes to transfer the plant into the planter, fill it up with soil or growing media until it covers ⅓ part of the planter.
