Regarding the planting of succulent , how to choose a suitable flower pot. On the market, there are only two materials for flower pots. Among them, the most commonly used and most common is plastic basin , followed by clay basin. The materials of flower pots are different, which will have a slight impact on the growth of succulents, but the impact on the overall growth is not very big.
How to choose a flower pot for a kind of succulent?
I suggest that you choose small flower pots as much as possible, whether they are plastic pots or purple clay pots. Flower pots are small as the principle. Smaller flower pots are more practical. At the same time, they can reduce soil waste as much as possible and avoid water accumulation in the flower soil. The size of the flower pots still have a certain impact on succulents. Large flower pots have a large growth space, and the succulents they grow are also particularly large.
The most important thing about the size of a flower pot is the use of soil. Large flower pots have more soil and small flower pots have less soil. The more and less flower soil is related to whether the roots of the plant can grow smoothly. The more soil the more likely it is to produce water accumulation. If there is more water, the rot of the plant roots will cause succulents. Large flower pots are succulent, which is particularly prone to the problem of water accumulation.
Smaller flower pots have less soil capacity, and moisture can penetrate and seep better. Small containers can reduce the accumulation of water generated by the soil itself as much as possible. Without the roots of accumulated water and succulents, there will be no rot. This is also the benefit of choosing a small flower pot.
As for plastic basins and purple clay pots, they are completely based on personal preferences. Some people like plastic basins with uniform specifications, while others like fancy purple clay pots. sedum succulent planting, and the ornamental effect will be better when paired with purple clay pots. The material of purple clay pots is closer to the soil, and the roots of succulents can continue to grow along the edges of the flower pots.
We should be clearer in raising succulents. It is not to allow succulent plant to grow more quickly or reproduce more quickly. Instead, it maintains a good shape on the existing basis and allows succulents to take the pot as quickly as possible to make it out of state better. Therefore, there is no need to use too large flower pots, which is completely unnecessary.
The key to growing succulents is the growth state of the root system. The more vigorous the roots grow, the more succulents can resist torture. In the summer, they can also better survive the hot summer. The roots of succulents have the ability to self-regulate. Some succulents are prone to rot in summer because the root system is not developed and the capillary roots do not grow into flower pots, which is particularly prone to rot.
Use a smaller flower pot to grow succulents. First, raise the succulent roots to make them more robust. It is not too late to replace the large flower pot in the later stage. Never get started, just use a larger flower pot to plant. The succulent roots are not as fast as you imagined. Take it step by step. Use a small pot in the early stage, and use a large pot in the later stage.
