Choosing containers

Usually no one does not ask what to call it, in that they planted plant. Basically, all the containers for indoor plants are divided into three types - it pots, plant pots and containers. |

Pots - a container with one or more drainage holes on the bottom. A pot placed on a pallet or in plant pots. Most often, you can buy clay or plastic pots. Depending on the material from which the pot is made, require different conditions for watering plants. A clay pot of well water evaporates from the earth, so watering is needed more frequently than in a plastic pot.

In each pot has its advantages and disadvantages. In clay pots, in addition, it is easier to evaporate excess moisture from the soil washed away harmful salts. But it spoils the appearance of the pot and eventually destroys it. Plastic pots are good because now you can buy a pot of any color and shape. Shelf life in plastic pots for much longer.

Pots come in different sizes, but the transplant is recommended every time a plant in a pot with a diameter of 2 cm more than before. The figure shows an example of how transplantation of plants from the pot in a pot, with the proviso that the plant really needs to transplantation (see transplant). In case you do not want to repot the plant in a pot with a diameter of 25 cm, should be for the transplant to trim the roots.

Kashpo - a waterproof container with a solid bottom, which is inserted into a pot. Ornamental flowerpots can be metal, plastic, wood, ceramics, wickerwork and wire. As the plant pots can be used kettle, basin, bowl, etc. In general, the basic meaning, to pick up plant pots, and harmonize with the interior of the room.

Ornamental flowerpots should be 2 cm in diameter, large pots and a little above it. The space between the pot and plant pots for moisture-loving plants can be filled with moist moss or peat.

Containers - a tank with a waterproof bottom, used for the cultivation of one or several plants. Ornamental flowerpots mostly manufactured for standard pots, so their size is limited, and in containers can be planted without a pot plant, so here is where to turn fantasy. As the container can use the boxes as plastic and wood, metal basins, etc. The main requirement of containers - solid bottom without holes. Here, difficulties arise with irrigation - excess water nowhere to go and plant could be flooded. To prevent this it is necessary to make good drainage, and if the container is very small, it can be done at the bottom of the hole and place it on a pallet.
