First, the flower pot material

1, ceramic flower pots a lot of white flower friends because of its high value into the pit, and finally harmed their own countless love flowers. Its outside is added a layer of glaze, although good-looking, but the air permeability is very poor, it is easy to use it to raise flowers rotten roots.

Ceramic pots can be used in short-term pots, such as orchids pot planting, but it is not recommended for long-term use.

2, ceramic pots whether from the value, or water permeability ceramic pots are very recommendable. But one thing to note is that the pottery pots will be anti-alkali after a long time, and there is a layer of white powdery substance on the surface, some people like this sense of age, and some people may not like it. Mind the white back to alkali, you can use the emperor Roman, it has a layer of waterproof coating on the surface, not easy to anti-alkali, in addition to the price is expensive, no problem.

3, plastic pots small flowers and plants using ceramic pots is no problem, but medium and large plants with ceramic pots, then it is not convenient. Give flowers to change pots, will move the plant to move around will be very disturbing, so medium-sized flowers can choose to use plastic pots, lightweight and cheap, breathability is also good. Commonly used plastic pots are gallon pots, green mountain pots, Alice pots and so on.

- Gallon pots are affordable, with drainage holes at the bottom and grooves at the bottom edge for better ventilation.

- The main function of the green hill pot is to control the roots, because it has this groove inside, the plant's root system will grow along the groove growth direction, which will make the plant root system grow more smoothly, the root system will not be staggered. The downside is that it drains too well and you have to water more often in the summer.

- If you want to raise seedlings, cuttings, or orchids, you can use this kind of transparent green mountain pots, water permeability and good air permeability, through this pot you can clearly observe the situation inside the pot, for can't control the hand can't move, love to pull out to see the florists are too friendly.

Second, pot size

The choice of pot size many novice florists inexperienced, it is recommended that rather small than large. Small pots are conducive to wet and dry circulation, root growth, if the pot is too large, it is easy to lead to waterlogged soil, smothered roots.

When changing pots, experienced florists will take one step and change a big pot. But novice white is not recommended to do so, the use of the new pot than the original pot diameter of 5-6 cm or so can be.

Third, the depth of the pot

The depth of the pot should be selected according to the type of flowers.

The main root is developed, the capillary root is less flowers with deep pots, such as orchids, monarchs, hanging orchids, etc., the root system is mainly vertical development, with high pots planting better, if you use shallow pots, the growth of the root system is very easy to be restricted, and the ground part of the corresponding will also be limited.

Capillary roots rich, less main root flowers with shallow pots, most of the grass flowers, the root system is more likely to develop horizontally, suitable for shallow pots, if you use a deep pot, the bottom of the ventilation is not good, easy to rot the roots.
