5. Insect-proof net on the bottom of the basin

Many people have told Huahua that they have put insect-proof nets at the bottom of flower pots. Not only does it prevent soil leakage, but it also prevents small insects from crawling into the soil along the bottom of the pot. Succulents in particular need an insect-proof net.

After taking the bricks or tiles you find home, break them into pieces with a small hammer, then place them in the sun for 1-3 days to disinfect them, and then place them at the bottom of the pot.

8. Plastic foam pad for basin bottom

Many experts and Huahua have told me that adding some plastic foam to the bottom of the pot when growing orchids can improve the drainage and water permeability of the orchid medium, and then you can just replace the foam with new one when it's time to repot.
