(the root growth space is not coordinated and the management of water and fertilizer operation is difficult.) in addition, the pot should have hydrophobic holes.

2. Soil

The lightweight medium with low bulk density should also have larger porosity, and the ratio of capillary pore to aerated pore is reasonable. It can not only fix and support the plant, but also provide good water and fertilizer holding capacity and aeration capacity for plant growth. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the weak acidity of the selected medium. It is recommended to choose small bags of peat soil for sale in the market.

5. Ventilation

It is mainly ventilated during the day, and its purpose is to coordinate the water distribution rate in the plant body and in the basin soil medium, while maintaining the dynamic balance of air composition in its living environment (the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide is stable). It is almost necessary to have a certain degree of ventilation in summer, spring and autumn, which can cool down to a certain extent and improve its living environment.
