Be careful not to use the wrong pot when growing flowers. Otherwise, the flowers will not survive no matter what you do. No wonder you are a flower killer!

Long flower pots to prevent root rot

In our previous discussion, when it comes to flowers that are difficult to grow, many flower lovers mentioned orchids, camellias, and gardenias. They usually have yellow leaves and falling buds due to root rot, and every time you buy a pot of flowers, the flowers die, which is really annoying!

These flowers are afraid of waterlogging. Huahua said to water them less, but sometimes I didn’t water them much, so why did they rot? In fact, it’s because the flower pots were not chosen well. After watering in a general low pot, the roots cannot absorb all the water at once, and the remaining water accumulates in the pot. The roots start to rot as soon as they are soaked in water.

So don’t underestimate them because they are small. We should choose long flowerpots so that the water can sink if the plants can’t drink up all the water. This saves trouble and prevents root rot. Choosing the right pot can save you a lot of worries later.

Large diameter short pot is suitable for blooming pots

Huahua also recommended a lot of flowers this year that are easy to grow and can fill the pot. Some flower lovers who have planted them said that they are indeed easy to grow, but why didn’t the flowers I grew fill the pot? When I sent you the pictures, I found out that I didn't choose the right pot. The diameter of the upright flowerpot is limited, and the sunlight is blocked. The health of the seedlings is uneven, and those that can bloom only have a few strong branches.

The seedlings directly sown will die if they are strong, or die if they are thin. They are also prone to growing too tall and not forming a shape. It is also difficult to trim them into a ball shape. In general, if the preparation work is not done well beforehand, it will be difficult to grow the seedlings to a full size later.

Therefore, for flowers that are easy to outgrow their pots, such as geraniums, petunias, pansies, and baby's breath, it is best to choose large-diameter short pots. Once the seeds are sown, the pot will be full, and they will burst into a ball shape without much pruning!

Hanging flower pots grow fast

There are more and more flowers at home, and there is no room for them on the ground. Besides, they are crowded together, which affects the lighting and there is no ventilation. The most taboo thing about growing flowers is lack of ventilation. It is best to have them at different heights, with some hung and some placed on the ground. This not only saves space but also helps the growth of flowers.

We usually hang up vine flowers, such as green ivy, Buddha beads, tears of lovers, etc. They turn yellow easily when hung up for ventilation. Many flower lovers have difficulty in indoor ventilation, so it is best to hang them up, which is conducive to their rapid growth and climbing!

But flower lovers will ask: How to water? Ordinary flower pots do not have water storage devices, so forcibly hanging them for watering is indeed a big problem.

We can make a simple lazy watering bottle. Flower lovers who have a glue bottle at home can just wash it and use it, fill it with water and insert it upside down in the flowerpot. You can also use a mineral water bottle, tie a drip nozzle to the bottle mouth, or directly insert a chopstick to guide the water.

The most convenient way is to directly choose a hanging flower pot with a water tank. This kind of flower pot has a water storage layer at the bottom. It can be watered for 1-2 weeks at a time, and it is stable when hung and not easily blown away by the wind.

For those who think hanging flower pots is risky, you can also choose a more stable wall-mounted flower pot, which can be hung on screens and partition walls and also has a water storage layer.

Flower lovers who live in apartment buildings don’t have to worry about not being able to grow succulents outdoors. A wall-mounted flowerpot can do the trick. Moreover, the pot can also provide insulation in the summer, killing two birds with one stone!

The mesh flower pot can grow a variety of flowers

Huahua has seen many flower-growing masters grow several kinds of flowers in one pot, which looks like a small garden. Mixed flower growing requires not only a large enough pot, but also good air and water permeability. Otherwise, it will be difficult to satisfy everyone, and one flower in the pot will be dying of thirst, while another one will still be waterlogged!

When mixing flowers, it is best to consider the habits of several flowers first. It is best not to grow flowers with one drought-prone and the other wet-prone together. However, even if the habits are similar, you still have to choose a good flower pot. After all, man proposes, God disposes, and the flowers may die if you are not careful.

The traditional pot has only one hole at the bottom, which is no longer sufficient for mixed planting. It is best if the pot has enough hollow area at the bottom, which is not only breathable but also water-permeable. This kind of pot is suitable for both growing flowers and vegetables.

Plastic flower pots are more suitable for summer

We usually grow flowers in ceramic pots or plastic pots. They have their own advantages and disadvantages. You can choose according to your needs:

Advantages and disadvantages of ceramic pots: breathable, beautiful, textured, heavy, fragile, evaporates quickly in summer

Advantages and disadvantages of plastic basins: lightweight, durable, good moisture retention, affordable, heats quickly

From the above, it seems that plastic flower pots are more suitable for summer. After all, flowers are easy to dry out in summer, and the water in ceramic pots evaporates too quickly, so the roots will run out of water in a short time. When it gets hot, the flowers will die even faster!

Nowadays, technology is updated quickly. Plastic flower pots have begun to use PP resin materials, which are more environmentally friendly and breathable. In addition, a breathable waterproof layer is added to the bottom of the pot. The price is more favorable than ceramics. You can choose it with confidence~
