Do you pay attention to flowerpots when growing flowers? Which flowerpots can't be used to grow flowers?

Flower lovers who like to grow flowers have been busy in their own "small garden", whether it is yard, terrace or balcony, they will always be with flowers. Pulling grass, loosening soil and pruning are busy. Besides these, we also water and fertilize, turn over pots and change soil, control pests and diseases, and so on. Among these complicated things, there is one thing that most flower lovers will ignore or "deliberately" ignore.

That's the flowerpot you chose when you planted flowers. When most flower lovers choose flower pots, the first thing to look at is the face value, and the ugly flower pots are not needed, and then the practicality and material. Many times, some functions will be "deliberately" sacrificed for a beautiful flowerpot with high value. In fact, flowerpots still depend on practicality, not value. Some flowerpots are so beautiful that you can't take them home to raise flowers.

1, big belly and small mouth

No matter how beautiful this flowerpot is, it can't be used to grow flowers. Otherwise, it will only look good for a while. When you want to change pots and soil, you will worry. How can you take it out? Either soak in water to avoid damage to the root system and pull it out carefully, or don't use the flowerpot and break it to make flowers. No matter what you do, it is your own loss. The only useful ones are those used to raise petite meat or to make miniature bonsai.

This kind of flowerpot was made without considering practicality, that is to say, the original intention of making it is to look good, and the flowers and plants will be preserved until they die after being planted. If you are an experienced gardener, you definitely don't want to use this kind of flowerpot. This kind of flowerpot is only liked by novice whites, especially those with lovely flowers and plants. It's so cute.

2. Deep-mouthed flowerpot

Regardless of the material, the general deep-mouth flowerpots are designed to cultivate tall flowers, such as orchids and tiger orchids, which are more suitable for planting with deep-mouth flowerpots. However, taking orchids as an example, the use of granular plants such as bark and moss is relatively loose and breathable, which has little effect on the depth of flower pots. Tiger orchid can't be planted deep, because it takes root horizontally, that is, the roots don't grow down, but grow horizontally, so try to use shallow pots.

If it is a face value control, you must use a deeper flowerpot. You can spread a layer of water on the bottom of the flowerpot, such as ceramsite, charcoal, cinder, etc. Actually, it is not. You can also put foam in it. Then plant it, and it will be fine. In addition to Hupilan, it is not recommended to use deep flowerpots even for some flowers that take root downwards. Regardless of the material, as long as there is something wrong with the basin soil, such as hardening, it will definitely rot.

3. Ceramic flowerpots

Ceramic flowerpots are not clay flowerpots that are easy to use, but porcelain flowerpots that are glazed and fired. This flowerpot is very valuable, and it is also a peerless beauty for decorating flowers at home. However, it has a fatal disadvantage, it can't grow good flowers. This is because this kind of ceramic flowerpot is generally airtight, and because of its shape, it is mostly designed as a deep-mouth flowerpot, which is not suitable for planting flowers.

Although it is not suitable for growing flowers, many flower lovers can't help but buy them home because of their beautiful appearance and home environment. I bought it, too, for nothing but to plant a kumquat tree full of golden fruits. Sure enough, no matter how carefully maintained, it didn't grow as expected. Nowadays, ceramic pots are generally used to make ceramic pots, that is, it is also a method to put planted flowers into ceramic pots.

4. Metal flowerpot

Metal flowerpots are rare, but in ancient China, there were already copper flowerpots. In modern times, all kinds of metal flowerpots have also appeared, but they usually appear in brochures. Their main function is to increase people's value. After all, there should be no flower friends in life, so it is silly to use metal flowerpots to raise flowers!

5. Plastic bowls

The flowers bought at the flower market are usually made of a plastic seedling pot. This kind of flowerpot is suitable for planting flowers and plants. It is not only low in price, but also breathable. It can be cultivated directly on the ground, but it also has some disadvantages, such as not durable, and the flowerpot does not fit the soil. That is to say, when watering, water will flow out from between the basin and the soil, and it is difficult to water it thoroughly.

Moreover, its basin wall is very thin, so it can't resist the sun in summer, which will directly burn the roots, and it is not warm in winter, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth of flowers. Only suitable for greenhouse seedling raising. In the home environment, it is not suitable for growing flowers. Therefore, flowers with plastic flowerpots are usually bought back, and then replaced with new flowerpots when the use period of flowerpots is over. If it happens to be flowering, change pots in time after flowering.

6.DIY flowerpot

Many flower lovers see homemade flowerpots on the Internet and make one at home. These flowerpots are generally made of cement, but they are not good for growing flowers. Not only is it heavy, but also its water permeability and air permeability are poor. I don't see any benefit. You'd better plant flowers in cement flowerpots, not novelty.

There are many flower lovers who always have some fantastic ideas when DIY flowerpots, and make some grotesque flowerpots. Although these flowerpots are beautiful, as mentioned above, the water permeability and air permeability of cement materials are not very good. Planting some flowers and plants will have a greater impact and is not recommended.

Conclusion: In fact, flowerpots are a good choice, such as plastic gallon pots, Qingshan pots and Alice pots. The teapot made of purple sand, as well as clay pots, wooden flowerpots and so on, are all very good flowerpots. Ok, that's all for the topic of flower pots. I'm Xiao GUI. See you next time.
