When choosing a flowerpot, you should also pay attention to the size and height. The flowerpot is too big, just like a thin man wearing big clothes, which affects the appearance. Moreover, flowerpots are large, plants are small, and plants have weak water absorption capacity. After watering, the soil in the basin will remain moist for a long time, making it difficult for flowers and trees to breathe, which will easily lead to root rot. The flowerpot is too small and top-heavy, which affects the development of root system.

In addition, there are three points for reference in choosing the size and height of flowerpots. The diameter of the mouth of the flowerpot should roughly match the crown diameter of the plant, and there should be a gap of 2-4 cm around the flowerpot after it is placed, so as to add new soil without mud to the plant. After putting in the flowerpot, the roots should be able to spread out and not bend. If the taproot or fibrous root is too long, it can be trimmed properly and planted in a flowerpot.
