How can the flowerpot be ventilated? These are the only simple and easy-to-learn methods

We often hear the words "ensure the air permeability of the soil" in the process of planting. But in fact, in addition to the soil, whether the flowerpot is breathable or not is also very important for the growth of plants. We have to admit that this problem is most easily ignored in our daily life. So how to choose the breathable flowerpot, and for the flowerpot that has been bought, how to make it more breathable? You can try the following methods.

Selection: which flowerpots have their own "air permeability"

We come into contact with many kinds of flowerpots, including plain tile pots, purple sand pots, wooden bucket pots, plastic pots, glazed ceramic pots and so on. Among them, the first three kinds of basin itself have a certain degree of air permeability, if you consider this factor, in fact, it can be considered. As for the latter two, there is no need to worry. In the following article, we will teach you how to make the inflexible flowerpot more breathable.

The air permeability of the flowerpot is poor, what should I do?

First of all, after we get the flowerpot, we need to see whether there is a water outlet at the bottom of the flowerpot, and if so, it will prove that the flowerpot has a certain degree of air permeability. what we need to pay attention to is that in the process of filling, it is best to put two pieces of broken tiles on both sides of the outlet. Let the bottom of the basin form a three-dimensional breathable and permeable space. The excess water can also be removed during watering to avoid excessive water accumulation in the basin leading to anoxia and rotting roots.

Secondly, we can use the method of drilling holes in the basin wall to increase air permeability. This method is mostly used in plastic basins, because the texture of the plastic basin itself is soft, so you can pierce a few small holes with an awl. The location of small holes can be selected all over the body of the pelvis, but it is important to note that if there are too many holes, it is best to put a larger tray underneath. This can effectively prevent the overflow of water.

Third, using the method of large pots and small pots, when we buy flowerpots, we tend to overestimate the growth of plants, so the flowerpots we buy will always be bigger, but in fact, at least in the new bud stage, plants do not need too big pots. The game of big basin and small basin is actually a bit like the Russian doll that we are familiar with. The big basin on the outside is only used as an ornament, while the small basin inside is the core.
