How to choose a flowerpot suitable for growing flowers?

Now that our flowers are suitable, we sometimes wonder what kind of flowerpot will be more beautiful and add icing on the cake to my flowers. In our life, there are many kinds of flowerpots, including pottery pots, various purple sand pots, glazed pottery flowerpots, porcelain pots and so on. Clay pots should be regarded as the most common. Water absorption and air permeability are very good, which is most suitable for planting flowers. The only drawback is that the shape is ordinary and rough. Although porcelain pots are beautiful, they are not suitable for growing flowers because of their poor water absorption and air permeability. In order to improve the ornamental effect, they are often used as a set of pots. Pottery basin combines the advantages of pottery basin and porcelain basin, which is beautiful and practical and more suitable for planting flowers.

Vegetarian burning pot: There are fine pores in the wall of the pot, which is beneficial to the decomposition of nutrients and the discharge of water in the soil, and the roots of flowers can grow normally. But the texture is rough, crisp and easy to bang, and the ornamental effect is poor. Good quality plain burning basin has a shiny surface and a crisp tapping sound. If the tapping sound is dull and the color is dim, it is easy to crack.

Purple sand basin: the drainage performance is second only to that of plain burning basin, and the air permeability is weak. You should listen to the sound by tapping. The sound is crisp and the basin surface is smooth.

Plastic basin: cheap and affordable, and beautiful, but the ventilation and drainage performance is poor. Pay attention to the thickness of the plastic substrate. Some plastic pots are thin and brittle, easy to age and difficult to carry.

Porcelain basin: beautiful appearance, bright color and luster, but poor drainage and ventilation, not suitable for direct cultivation of flowers and trees, can be used as a set of pots. Buy the same purple sand basin.

Glazed basin: The second type has a solid texture and a bright appearance, but poor drainage and air permeability.

Wooden pots have good ventilation and drainage performance, but they are perishable and prone to insects. Pay more attention to the style when buying, and also pay attention to the quality of wood, preferably with no scars and fine workmanship.

Having mentioned the types of flowerpots above, let's talk about the choice of flowerpot size. Flower pots are big and small, tall and short. We can choose a suitable flowerpot according to our hobbies.

Generally, a high cylindrical flowerpot with a small pot mouth is suitable for planting hanging flowers and trees such as wisteria, chlorophytum and ivy. For potted plants with clustered flowers and trees, such as azalea, Milan, begonia, pomegranate and Guayeju, pots with large mouths and moderate heights should be used. Extra-large flowerpots, also known as flowerpots, are excellent devices for planting flowers and trees such as cycads, brown shelving, kumquat, magnolia, lotus and water lilies. Shallow bonsai pots are suitable for cultivating boxwood, elm stump, five-needle pine and maple, and can highlight the vigorous packing, withered branches and vibrant thin leaves;

Miniature hand-held flowerpot, small and exquisite, suitable for planting small flowers and plants such as asparagus and cactus; Hanging pots are suitable for planting hanging trees such as chlorophytum, ivy, starvine and fairy finger. In addition, there are all kinds of water chassis, which are often used to make waterstone bonsai, and there is also a kind of shallow narcissus, which is specially cultivated for narcissus.

Plastic pots have various specifications and colors, generally round, tall, short with three feet or no feet, and holes are left at the bottom or side to facilitate water swimming and drainage, as well as pots for hydroponics or without holes.
