The flowerpot is too deep is really fatal, longevity gentleman orchid raises 1 pot dead 1 pot, change quickly!

What's the impact of inappropriate flowerpots?

1. Small seedlings and big pots

The flowerpot is too large, the plant body is small, the sun is impenetrable, the drainage is relatively slow, the water and fertilizer is difficult to control, the growth is slow, but also easy to cause stagnant water rotten roots.

2. Big seedlings and small pots

Large pots and small seedlings are easy to understand: first, the roots can not stretch and inhibit growth; second, there are not enough nutrients, branches, leaves and roots seize water and nutrition, resulting in sparse leaves yellowing, small and few flowering, light flower color, or even no flowering.

Cymbidium-- A shallow pot species

Cymbidium is a fleshy aerial root, which requires high root respiration and air permeability of flowerpots, so it is generally planted in shallow pots.

1. Data reference

The data are for reference only and should be judged according to the size of the flowerpot and the size of the plant.

1 leaf plantlet, 6 plants per 4 Mel planted in a 10cm pot

2Mel 3-leaf seedlings, every 2 Mel 3 plants are planted in a 10cm pot

3Mel 5-leaf large seedlings, each planted in a 10cm pot

5Mel 8-leaf seedlings, each planted in a 13cm pot

8Mel 10-leaf seedlings, each planted in a 16-20cm pot

10 15 mature plants with 15 leaves, each planted in a 20-23cm pot

15 Mel 20 mature plants with 20 leaves, each planted in a 26cm pot

20 Mel has 25 leaves of mature plants, each plant is planted in a 33-40cm pot.

2. The root does not top the pot and the flower is not strong.

Gentleman orchid is aerial root, after the root system top basin, will open a certain gap, more conducive to breathing and growth, thus blooming, colorful flowers.

In addition, shallow root plants such as rich tree, tiger skin orchid, green apple, ivy and root sensitive plants such as longevity, succulent and cactus are best raised in shallow pots.

Orchids-- first deep and then shallow

Orchids are single-rooted, have no whisker roots, and like a breathable and loose environment, but orchids also have false bulbs, which not only store water and nutrients, but also related to sprouting, so the depth of the flowerpot should comprehensively consider the needs of roots and pseudobulbs.

1. First deep planting and then shallow planting

First, the bluegrass is deeply planted, so that the false bulb is in full contact with the plant material, sprouting and sprouting.

But the high-temperature and high-humidity environment in the soil is prone to rot, what should we do? After the orchid seedling grows out, remove some of the plant material and expose part of the false bulb, which can reduce the probability of infection.

2. Deep planting in the north and shallow planting in the south

In the north, the climate is dry, the false bulb is exposed, which is not conducive to germination and growth, the basin is dry and wet, and the new seedlings are not easy to take root; the humid climate in the south is suitable for shallow planting.

3. Shallow planting of mud and deep planting of granular materials.

The permeability of mud is poor, so it is suitable for shallow planting, and the granular material is loose and breathable, and it is better to use deep pot.

Rhododendron-- shallow pot species

Cuckoo root system is very shallow, there is no main root system, but there are many thin fibrous roots, mainly in the middle and upper part of the soil, should not be deep, so it is best to plant in a shallow pot.

Note: cuckoo cuttings can be cut with a mud pot around 10cm, and a year later it will be replaced with a 15cm flowerpot.

Suitable for shallow pot species of woody flowers are: Jasmine, camellia, gardenia, sweet-scented osmanthus, etc., shallow planting to bloom!

Hanging orchids and asparagus-- deep or shallow

The root system of Cymbidium is well developed and is generally raised in a deeper pot, but the peel of the orchid is solid and the flowerpot is deeper and shallower. The shallow basin explodes quickly, it is best to change the basin once a year.

Petunia and Pansy-- A shallow basin with a large mouth

Such as petunia, geranium, cherry, pansy and other grass flowers, fast growth, explosive basin, it is best to use a large caliber shallow basin, sow seeds, can explode into a ball.

Happiness tree-- deep pot species

Larger, good-looking foliage woody plants had better use a higher basin, such as happiness tree, kumquat, goose palm wood, big leaf umbrella, etc., do not worry, good management.

Note: when planting in deep pot, the bottom of the basin should be breathable, the soil can not be filled, and the daily maintenance should be less watering, more ventilation and more spraying water.

When you don't know what to plant, you can't go wrong by using it as a set of pots.
