What flowerpot is used for indoor flower planting?

Planting plants underground is relatively easy to take care of, but for most novice gardeners who don't have a garden, they have to choose various pots to grow flowers. How to choose a suitable flowerpot is also a science. I carefully arranged this for you. Let's have a look.

1. Plastic flowerpot

It is cheap, light and easy to use, and it is also the most common simple flowerpot in the flower market. There are many holes at the bottom, which is more breathable. Besides being ugly, it's good to water more often. In addition, most seeds are planted in plastic flowerpots. When the seedlings grow up, they need to be transplanted into suitable containers. Because plastic flowerpots are relatively light, hanging flowerpots are generally made of this material.

Hanging pots or wall-hung flowerpots are mostly plastic, but the quality is much better and the price is of course expensive. It is absolutely no problem to use them for 3-5 years.

2, red pottery basin, purple sand basin

Relative air permeability is good, but different materials, techniques and thicknesses have great influence on the air permeability of flowerpots, such as small red pottery pots for fleshy potted plants, and the medium is very easy to dry out. Some teapots are too tight in texture, but they are particularly airtight.

The fleshy little red pottery basin is thin and breathable, but it is easy to break and dry. Water is needed almost every day when it doesn't rain in spring and autumn.

Authentic red mud flowerpots are very heavy, and it is best to plant shrubs and the like, which are very stable. The disadvantage is that in order to visit smoothly, there is only a small hole below, which is not breathable enough. Generally put bricks under it to increase air permeability.

3. Wooden flowerpots

Carbonized wood is mostly light cork with good air permeability. Disadvantages are that the sun and rain are easy to rot, and the temperature is hot and humid, which is easy to produce mold.

The carbonized wood flowerpot is beautiful and breathable, and its service life is not long, and it will rot in 2-3 years.

4. Ceramic flowerpot:

Beauty is beautiful, generally speaking, it is not very breathable, especially glazed pottery pots, which are often used to grow high-grade flowers such as orchids as gifts for Chinese New Year holidays. In fact, the later maintenance will be very difficult.

This beautiful pottery basin has no holes, so it is used as a pot cover, and the plants in the plastic flowerpot are directly put in. Pay attention to pour out the accumulated water after watering.

5. Cement flowerpot:

Many flower lovers who like DIY will make their own cement flowerpots with beautiful shapes and alpine container gardens. It's also on the market. Very chic and modern. Breathable, but too heavy. It's not easy to move.

Flowers suitable for indoor planting

Plants that can absorb toxic substances, such as aloe, chlorophytum, Eupatorium odoratum, Eupatorium odoratum and Dendrocalamus giganteum, are natural scavengers, which can remove harmful substances in the air. Huwei orchid and chlorophytum can absorb more than 80% of indoor harmful gases, and their ability to absorb formaldehyde is super strong. Aloe vera is also a good absorbent of formaldehyde.

Ornamental plants for purifying air Many ornamental plants not only have greening and ornamental functions, but also have health care functions of absorbing toxic gases and purifying air. Chlorophytum is an expert in air purification, which can absorb nitrogen oxides, methane, formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine peroxide and other harmful gases. In addition, plants with air purification function also include:

Kidney fern, cyrtomium fortunei, Chinese rose, crape myrtle, clove, magnolia, osmanthus fragrans, clover, aloe, Commelina communis, auricularia fern, cactus, tiger orchid, agave, pineapple, cactus, arrow lotus, epiphyllum, gem flower, Sedum, Sedum purpurea, ivy, cycad and chrysanthemum.

1 Radiation-resistant ornamental plants

Some ornamental plants have the function of absorbing electromagnetic radiation. Placing these plants at home or office can effectively reduce the electromagnetic radiation pollution caused by various electrical and electronic products. These plants include: cactus, gem flower, Sedum and other succulents.

Researchers from Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, China Academy of Sciences have successfully extracted a natural radioprotective agent -SP88 from cruciferous plants, and confirmed the mechanism and biological function of SP88.

Cruciferous vegetables such as rape, green vegetables, mustard greens, Chinese cabbage and radish are not only common delicious dishes on the table, but also have the function of radiation resistance.

Two Insecticidal Ornamental Plants

Some plants have special fragrance or smell, which is harmless to people, while mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies and other pests will avoid it when they smell it. Some special scents or smells can also inhibit or kill bacteria and viruses. These factories include:

Tuberose, pyrethrum, wild chrysanthemum, mirabilis jalapa, lemon, crape myrtle, jasmine, orchid, clove, atractylodes rhizome, popcorn, dandelion, mint, etc.
