Whether you choose the right flower pot directly determines how vigorously your plants grow
Many people can take good care of their flowers and plants, but when it comes to choosing a "house" for them, they are not necessarily good at it. There are all kinds of flower pots on the market now, so how should you choose?
1. Buying the wrong flower pot
Most flower pots on the market are plastic pots, because plastic pots are cheap and easy to get. Any plastic pot can be used to grow flowers, but after flower lovers buy flowers and take them home, they need to repot them immediately, because plastic pots are not breathable and not water-permeable. Over time, they also release toxic substances. This is also why, when using the same method, some people's flowers end up lifeless and stunted.
2. Buying inferior flower pots
Sometimes when buying flower pots you misjudge them, and sometimes you buy a pot with poor breathability. You cannot bear to throw it away, but if you use it to grow flowers, you worry that the flowers will not grow well. What should you do? In fact, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can use some methods to increase breathability.
3. How to choose flower pots
Flower lovers all know that flower pots include ceramic pots, porcelain pots, and plastic pots. In fact, all of these pots can be used, but you must check whether there is a drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. This drainage hole is also used to increase breathability. If there is none, do not buy it.
4. What to do if the flower pot is not breathable
If the flower pot cannot be modified, you can work on the soil, because soil and pot affect each other. When the pot has poor breathability, you can increase the soil's breathability in this way. If it is a plastic pot, you can directly punch holes in the pot wall to increase breathability, or you can put some broken tiles or coarser stones in the bottom of the pot to increase water permeability.
No matter what kind of flower pot is used, breathability is not only about whether the pot is good or not. Flower lovers also do not need to worry too much about this, because breathability and water permeability are closely related to the environment, the soil, and the flowers.
