Selection of flowerpot material

Tile Basin

The biggest advantage of tile pots is that they are breathable and cheap, but because they are too breathable, some people say they don't grow with fleshy people. The reason is that the soil at the edge of the basin is easy to dry, especially under the hot sun, the root system at the edge of the basin is easy to be injured

Porcelain basin

Although the porcelain basin is beautiful, it is basically airtight and is generally not recommended. However, if the soil structure is good and the drainage and ventilation are good, the porcelain basin can be used, but there must be a drainage hole at the bottom of the porcelain basin

Purple sand basin

Purple sand basin is relatively beautiful, and its air permeability is between tile basin and porcelain basin. Many flower friends will choose to use purple sand basin. In addition to the beauty and price, we should also pay attention to the thickness of the basin wall. The thinner the purple sand basin, the stronger the air permeability. The kind with thicker basin wall is similar to that of porcelain basin

Plastic basin

Plastic basin is characterized by poor air permeability, but there are good solutions. It is to pierce the eyes with a needle in the middle and lower part of the basin. If you want to be beautiful, you can first draw a simple stroke pattern on the paper, and then paste it on the flowerpot. According to the pattern lines, it is dense and eye-catching, which is both beautiful and breathable. The upper part of the basin should not be eye-catching, which is easy to leak

Selection principle of flower pot

Size and depth

Generally speaking, the roots of succulent plants are underdeveloped, and the water in the soil is difficult to absorb for a while, which is easy to lead to root rot. therefore, the basin should be selected based on the principle of "better small than large, rather shallow than deep"

Matching of flowerpot and soil

The selection of flower pots is closely related to the preparation of plant materials and environmental and climatic conditions. For example, the north is both sandy soil and dry climate. As long as there is some cultivation experience, it doesn't matter what pots are actually used. For humid areas in the south, friends who are not very experienced in cultivation should be careful. If you are worried that succulent plants are always dead, you might as well try the above methods to increase the air permeability of the flowerpot
