Whether you choose the right flower pot directly affects how vigorously your plants grow

Many people can take good care of their own plants, but when it comes to choosing a "house" for those plants, they are not necessarily good at it. There are now all kinds of flower pots on the market, 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, and any plastic pot can be used to grow flowers. But after plant lovers buy flowers and take them home, they need to repot them immediately, because plastic pots are not breathable and do not let water through. Over time, they also release toxic substances. This is also why, when the method is the same, the flowers some people grow are lifeless and grow poorly.

2. Buying inferior flower pots

Sometimes when buying flower pots, you can also misjudge them. Sometimes you buy a flower 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? Actually, 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

Plant lovers all know that flower pots include ceramic pots, porcelain pots and plastic pots. Actually, 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 soil breathability in this way. If it is a plastic flower pot, you can directly punch holes in the pot wall to increase breathability, and you can also put some broken tiles or coarser stones at the bottom of the pot to increase water permeability.

No matter what kind of flower pot is used, breathability does not actually depend only on whether the pot is good. Plant lovers also do not need to agonize over this too much, because breathability and water permeability are closely related to the environment, the soil and the flowers.
