Is it better to use a large or small pot for the thousand-year-old tree?

The size of the elm tree is not particularly large, so it can usually be planted in a small pot. During the seedling stage, it can be planted in a pot as big as a beverage bottle. If the pot is too large, water accumulation will easily occur. However, the vase should be replaced as the plant grows.

Growth environment: The thousand-year-old tree is native to the tropics. The most suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃. It likes a high temperature and humid environment. It needs to be watered about once every 2-3 days for daily maintenance.

Repotting time: The genus Elaeagnus needs to be repotted every 2-3 years. The best time to repot is in spring from March to April. The time requirement is not high, and the repotting can be carried out as long as the temperature is right.

Should I use a deep or shallow pot for the millennium tree?

Plants like Echeveria are more suitable for planting in shallow pots, because the roots of the plant are not tolerant to waterlogging and it is easy for the roots to rot due to the stuffiness and humidity in the pot. If the pot is too deep, this situation will be aggravated.

There are many materials of flower pots to choose from for the elm tree, but the wide-mouthed clay pot is the most suitable for it. This type of flower pot has good air permeability and is not very expensive.
