The growth of succulents is closely related to the surrounding environment. Many big environments are hard to change, such as the weather and location, but many thoughts can be spent on small environments, such as the utensils planted by succulents and the soil you choose. You can't change the weather, and you can't escape, but you can choose soil and flowerpots that are more suitable for succulents. This paper mainly talks about the selection of succulent plant flowerpots and how to increase the air permeability of flowerpots. The choice of flowerpot is simple and clear, but I also learned to pay attention to it. Flower pots usually include pottery pots, porcelain pots, purple sand pots, plastic pots and so on. Briefly talk about the advantages and disadvantages of various flowerpots. I. Selection of flowerpot 1. The biggest advantage of pottery pots is that they are breathable and cheap, but some people say that they are not suitable for succulents because they are too breathable. The reason is that the soil around the basin is very easy to dry, especially in the scorching sun, and the roots around the basin are easily injured. 2. Porcelain pot Although the porcelain pot looks good, it is basically airtight. Generally speaking, porcelain pots are not recommended. But if the soil structure is good, the porcelain pot can be used completely. But when using porcelain pots, we should pay attention to solving the ventilation problem. If the center of the flowerpot can be vacated, it is best to use a straight-through ventilation pipe. Is to find a hard plastic pipe. The kind of pipe used for installing wires in room decoration is the best. The main advantage is that the pipe wall is thin and easy to punch. Plastic water pipes can also be used. The pipe wall is thick, so it is troublesome to punch holes. It is very easy to make many small holes of 3 to 4 mm in the whole body of the pipe and pierce them with thick iron wire. Leave five or six centimeters near the end of the basin surface, because the surface of the basin soil is inherently breathable, and holes are punched near the topsoil, which is easy to leak when watering. At one end of the basin bottom, some gaps should be cut at the edge of the nozzle to facilitate water flow. When planting plants, aim the notched end at the leaking hole, and the other end extends out of the soil, flush with the upper edge of the flowerpot. If the diameter of the leaking hole is larger than the diameter of the pipeline, the upper half of the beverage bottle should be cut and fixed on the leaking hole, and then the bottle mouth should be covered with a nozzle. You can also use one or two nails to pass through two holes at the bottom of the catheter and through the leaking hole. This means that there is a pipe in the center of the basin for air convection, which is very beneficial to the ventilation of the basin soil. If there are plants in the center of the basin, two or three thinner pipes should be used from the ventilation hood in the middle of the basin to connect the ground obliquely in a tree-to-tree structure. The joint of thick and thin pipes should be glued with plastic tape, so as not to let soil leak into the pipes. You can also use two or three thin snorkels to enter the water leakage hole obliquely. If it is too troublesome, insert it vertically along the basin edge, but always pay attention to cleaning up the accumulated soil in the pipeline, which can only achieve one-way ventilation and the effect is not good. These methods are all aimed at large porcelain pots. There is no need to make such a fuss about small and medium-sized porcelain pots. Cut off the upper part of the medium-sized porcelain pot with a beverage bottle, only use the lower part, and punch the whole body and buckle it on the leakage hole. Pay attention to punch holes in the low-lying place at the bottom of the beverage bottle, otherwise water will accumulate. The small porcelain basin is perforated with a slightly larger plastic bottle cap and buckled on the leaking hole, which is called a breathable cover. Remember to cut a gap in your mouth. Compared with the ventilation area of leaky holes, the method of installing ventilation pipes can effectively increase the ventilation area by dozens of times. It is a very important measure to cultivate flower varieties such as succulents that are afraid of water disasters, and we should not treat them lightly. 3, the teapot teapot is also very beautiful, the permeability is between the clay pot and the porcelain pot. Some succulents will choose to use teapot. In addition to beauty and
5. Homemade flowerpots. In addition, it is also very interesting to make flowerpots with some things around you. A friend made a flowerpot from a beverage can, which is very beautiful. It is also unique to make flowerpots with colorful wall lampshades. I also saw someone making flowerpots out of ceramic cups, which is also very beautiful. If you want to punch holes, you can turn the glass drill with a flashlight to punch holes. If you don't have these tools around, you can also use the ultra-simple porcelain punching method. Two. Generally speaking, the roots of succulents are not very developed, and too much soil moisture will not evaporate for a while, which is easy to cause rot. Therefore, the selection of pots should be based on the principle of "small is better, shallow is deeper". Large and medium-sized pots require that the diameter of the pot is basically the same, or the diameter of the pot is slightly larger than one or two centimeters. Better mix a few balls. The depth of the cultivated soil is at most twice the ball diameter, that is, if the ball diameter is 5 cm, the soil depth is 10 cm, but it can be shallower for large balls. The bigger the ball, the less water and nutrients it consumes. Too much soil in the basin is not only useless, but also perishable. If the flowerpot is too deep, pay attention to adding more non-soil filler at the bottom. 3. Selection of flowerpots and preparation of plant materials. Finally, the selection of flowerpots is closely related to the preparation of plant materials and environmental and climatic conditions. For example, as long as you have some cultivation experience in the north, it doesn't matter what pot you actually use. For wet areas in the south, friends who are not very experienced in planting should be cautious. If you are worried that succulents are always dying, you can try the above methods to increase the breathability of flowerpots.
