The size of the pot has a great impact on the growth of plants, some flowers like large pots deep pots, some flowers like small pots, and shallow pots, if the wrong pot, the plant will be particularly difficult to flower and fruit, but also easy to hang off.

Here to introduce you to like small pots of 3 kinds of plants!

1, trillium

Previously visited a trellis base of trillium, and found that many trilliums are planted with a set of pots, a small pot to raise trillium, and then a large pot in a small pot, around the gap filled with soil. Why is this?

The set of pots is to facilitate water control, in fact, a small pot directly raised is the same reason. The water can be absorbed immediately after the small pot is watered, and the excess water will be absorbed by the large pot outside so that you can water the flowers without worrying that water will accumulate around the roots.

If you are interested, you should try it!

2, sunflower

Sunflower is a root grass flowers, root system shallow, you have to use shallow pots, pots if large, deep, watering water is difficult to drain, it is easy to grow, flowering becomes less, the serious point will be water rotten roots.

The most suitable pot for sunflowers is a long vegetable pot, shallow enough to be long, when the water is big and the sun is not worried about rotten roots, foam boxes are also very good, water seepage is fast but also conducive to control the growth of flowers.

The sunflower on the roof, a sliver of all the foam box planting, how well it grows!

3, azalea

The root system of azalea is very shallow, although they like a moist environment, if the pot is too large, the soil is too sticky and wet, the root system will be smothered, and in the summer is also easy to black rot.

So azaleas like small pots, shallow pots, especially seedlings, the root system are still relatively weak, can not be very good pot, with small pots is conducive to raising roots, the biggest feature of small pots is convenient to control water, keep the potting soil dry, conducive to the growth of the root system.

Azalea's old pile is also suitable for small pots, especially the old pile with roots, the root system is mostly exposed outside the soil, with small pots to facilitate water control to promote flowering, but also to increase ventilation, and reduce the chances of infection and disease.

In general, shallow pots and small pots are suitable for keeping fibrous plants and shallow-rooted plants, which are conducive to soil hydrophobicity, preventing root rot, and promoting flowering.

For plants with deep roots, deep pots are better than shallow pots because they do not inhibit the growth of the plant.

For bulbous plants, both shallow and deep pots are fine, it all depends on your personal needs. For example, if you want to raise the ball to make it robust and not rush to flower, then it is better to plant in deep pots; if you want to see the flowers and hope to flower as soon as possible, then use small and shallow pots to plant.

If you plant a plant, the pot is too deep, and there is no other pot to change, then how to do water control to prevent root rot?

It is very simple, the bottom of the pot lay a thick layer of ceramic particles or red bricks so that a drainage tank after watering can quickly drain out of the pot. In addition, whether in the outdoor or indoor flowers, pots under as much as possible with a bracket or mobile tray to cushion, the purpose the rain does not soak the pot, and the ground heat does not burn the pot.

Different pants have different needs for pots and soil, if your soil is particularly loose and breathable, the home ventilation is particularly good, then basically what pots can be raised well, if the soil is not good, you have to put some effort into the pots!
