Flowerpots usually have tile pots, porcelain pots, purple sand pots, plastic pots, wood pots, etc., the biggest advantage of tile pots is breathable and cheap, but it is precisely because it is too breathable, some people say that it is not suitable for succulent plant cultivation, because the soil on the edge of the basin is very easy to dry, especially in the hot sun exposure, the root system on the edge of the basin is easy to be hurt, and the fibrous roots on the edge of the basin are the most.

Although the porcelain basin is beautiful, it is basically airtight. However, if the soil structure is better, the porcelain basin can also be used. However, when using porcelain pots, attention should be paid to solving the problem of air permeability, and large pots should have vents.

Cut off the upper part of the medium-sized porcelain basin with a beverage bottle, use only the lower half, punch holes all over the body, and buckle upside down on the leaky hole, pay attention to punching holes in the low-lying part of the bottom of the beverage bottle, otherwise it will accumulate water. The small porcelain basin is perforated with a larger plastic bottle cap and fastened to the leaky hole, which is called a breathable hood.

Remember to cut the gap at the edge of the mouth. Compared with the air permeability area of water leakage hole, the method of installing vent pipe can effectively increase the air permeability area by dozens of times, which is a very important measure for the cultivation of succulent plants and other flower varieties that are afraid of water stains, which should not be ignored.

Purple sand basin is also more beautiful, air permeability is between tile basin and porcelain basin, generally raise immortal meat to use purple sand basin. In addition to the beauty and price, the purple sand basin needs to pay special attention to the thickness of the basin wall. the thinner the purple sand basin is, the stronger the air permeability is, and the air permeability of the old thick basin wall is similar to that of porcelain basin. The large purple sand basin should also take the same air permeability measures as the porcelain basin, which is beneficial to the plant growth. Small and medium-sized pots are better off by buckling the breathable hood.

The disadvantage of the plastic basin is also poor air permeability. in addition to adopting the method of air vent, the solution can also be pierced with a needle in the middle and lower part of the basin body. If you want to be beautiful, you can first draw a simple brush pattern on the paper, and then stick it on the flowerpot. According to the pattern lines are dense and eye-catching, both good-looking and breathable, the upper part of the basin is not eye-piercing, easy to leak.

Some people say that wooden pots are easy to mildew. I think it doesn't matter, because succulent plants generally have to bask in the sun, and watering will not be too wet.

Advocate self-made flowerpots, using some things around you to make flowerpots is very interesting. It is very beautiful to make flowerpots with beverage canisters. It is also very chic to use a colored wall lamp cover to make a flowerpot. Also saw that some people use ceramic cups to make flowerpots are also very beautiful, but do not know how to open the leak, it is easy to break the cup.

The depth of the cultivated soil is at most twice the ball diameter, that is, if the ball diameter is 5 cm, the soil depth is 10 cm, and for large balls, it can be shallower. The bigger the ball, the less water and nutrients are consumed, and too much basin soil is not only useless but also easy to rot. If the flowerpot is too deep, you should pay attention to adding more non-soil fillers at the bottom.

The selection of flowerpots is closely related to the preparation of plant materials and environmental and climatic conditions, such as the sandy soil and dry climate in the north. As long as there is some cultivation experience, it doesn't matter what pot is used. As for the humid climate in the south, friends who are not very experienced in cultivation should be careful!
