1. Types of flower pots

In addition to the size and color, it can be said that there are many kinds. So what kind of flower pot is best? Generally speaking, breathability, water permeability, and lightness are the most basic requirements for choosing a flower pot.

Tile basins have all these advantages and are cheap, so they are the most used. Purple sand pots are simple and elegant, with gorgeous decoration, good air permeability and drainage.

In short, the size of the flower pot depends on the size of the plant. The shape and color of the flower pot should be coordinated with the crown shape and color of the flowers and trees and the furnishings of the room.

2. Selection of potted flowerpots

For potted flowers and trees, the material and volume of the flowerpots have a great influence on the growth of flowers and trees, so the reasonable selection of flowerpots is very important. An ideal flowerpot should be: light in material and easy to transport; durable and not easily broken; the color, shape, thickness, and size should be suitable for the growth of flowers and trees, and should be available in a variety of specifications and models; and low in price.

Today’s flower pots can be divided into the following types according to different materials:

(1) Unfired earthenware pots Generally, earthenware pots are better than porcelain pots for growing flowers. The tile basin is not only economical and practical, but also has many fine pores on the wall of the basin, which has excellent air permeability and water permeability. This is beneficial to the decomposition of fertilizer in the basin soil and the respiration and growth of the root system. The disadvantages are monotonous color, unsightly shape, rough surface, few specifications and easy to break. Usually new pots are better than old pots. The new pot is not only water-permeable and resistant to waterlogging, and can alleviate the fertilizer effect, but also absorbs heat quickly, dissipates heat quickly, and has a large temperature difference between day and night, which is conducive to the decomposition of organic fertilizers in the soil. Both cyan and red tile basins can be used equally, but attention should be paid to the quality of the tile basins. Generally, those with fine adobe, appropriate heat, crisp sound, and shiny surface are better. This kind of tile basin is strong and durable. Poor-quality tile basins have incorrect shapes, insufficient heat, uneven color, and dull sound. They cannot withstand the erosion of water and fertilizer, and will soon become crispy and cracked. If the pot hole is convex inward and the bottom of the pot is uneven, it is easy to cause water traps, which is not good for growing flowers.

(2) Plastic basins are lightweight, easy to use, not broken, and durable. The basin walls are smooth inside and outside. Not only is it easy to knock off the soil when changing basins, but it is also easy to wash and disinfect. However, it is not air-permeable and water-penetrating, so it is only suitable for planting flowers and trees that are resistant to water and moisture, such as parasol, monstera, calla lily, and Dieffenbachia, or flowers and trees that prefer warm temperatures, such as ferns, spider plants, purple commelder, winter corals, night corals, etc. Lilac et al. Currently, there is a plastic basin for washing rice and washing vegetables on the market, which is shaped like a washbasin. The walls, bottom and surroundings of the basin are covered with pores. They are available in various specifications with a diameter of 20-35 cm. They can also be used to grow flowers. Because the basin wall is porous, muddy water can easily leak out. However, you can line the inner wall of the basin with a plastic sand mesh to reduce leakage and still provide ventilation. If you fear that the pot wall will be easily squeezed and broken by the weight of the soil, you can use sawdust instead of soil to plant flowers and trees. This will become an ideal flower pot for growing flowers on the balcony.

(3) Porcelain pots and glazed pots should be used to plant flowers and trees in glazed pots. The outer walls of the pots are coated with colored glazes, which are airtight and water-tight. It is difficult to control the dryness and wetness of the soil in the pots, especially when dormant in winter. Overwatering can cause root rot and death of flowers and trees. Therefore, it is not suitable for planting flowers and trees. Because of their beautiful appearance and various shapes, porcelain pots can generally be used as set pots for flower and tree display.

3. Among the flower pots, which one is better, mud pot, ceramic pot or Yixing pot?

Currently, there are five types of pots on the market: plastic pots, porcelain pots, clay pots, ceramic pots and Yixing pots. .

Plastic basins and porcelain basins have smooth surfaces and poor water and air permeability.

Mud pots and pottery pots have rough surfaces, good air and water permeability, and are more suitable for plant growth.

There is also a Yixing basin on the market, which has a smooth surface and is breathable and water-permeable, but it is more expensive.

It is worth noting that many people ignore the drainage holes at the bottom of the flower pot. Drainage holes are like the vents of plants. If it is drained too much, the nutritious soil will be lost and cannot be drained out, which will seriously affect plant growth.

Even for water-loving plants, poor drainage will have an impact on root growth.

The correct way is to use window screen to cover the drainage hole at the bottom of the flower pot after buying it, and then put soil in it, so as to avoid soil loss during watering.

The soil in the flower pot is divided into acid and alkali, and different plants are suitable for different soils. Except for cacti, prickly pear and pomegranate flowers, which prefer alkaline soil, most plants in the south prefer acidic soil.

There are many types of flowerpots, including rough earthenware pots, various purple sand pots, glazed pottery flowerpots, and porcelain flowerpots. . Earthenware pots are ideal as flower cultivation equipment, but they are ordinary in shape and rough in craftsmanship, making them difficult to achieve elegance. Although porcelain flowerpots are gorgeous and delicate, they cannot be used to directly plant flowers and trees due to their lack of water absorption and air permeability. They are generally used as nesting pots. Ceramic flowerpots are a perfect device for planting flowers and landscapes because of their dual advantages of beauty and practicality.

Wisteria, Chlorophytum, ivy and other hanging flowers and trees generally use high-cylindrical flower pots with small mouths and deep pots, which complement the long hanging branches and vines, and are full of poetic and picturesque charm. Potted plants with cluster-like flowers and trees such as rhododendron, milan, crabapple, pomegranate, cineraria, etc., should use large-mouthed flower pots due to their large branches and leaves. The height should be selected according to the height of the potted flower.

Extra large flowerpots, also called flower pots, are suitable for planting iron trees, palms, kumquats, magnolias, lotuses, water lilies and other flowers and trees. Shallow bonsai pots are suitable for root flowers and trees such as boxwood, plum blossoms, elm piles, five-needled pine, and maple trees. The miniature palm flower pot is small and delicate, and can be used to plant small asparagus, cactus and other flowers and plants. There are also various types of water bases, which are commonly used to make water stone bonsai.

European countries have begun to restrict the production of polyolefin flowerpots in recent years. The main reason is that disposable containers and packaging made of polyolefin materials have caused serious "white pollution" to the earth. The key to this kind of "white pollution" is that if it is left in nature for a long time (hundreds of years) it cannot be completely biodegraded into substances in the ecological chain, thus causing harm to the earth. If it is incinerated, toxic gases will be produced and "secondary pollution" will occur. If the recycling method is used, the cost will be too high and the gain will not be worth the loss. At present, these "white garbage" discarded everywhere not only degrade farmland and affect agricultural production, but also affect hydropower generation, shipping, fisheries and the urban environment. Therefore, today, as people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, people's demand for various green products is also increasing day by day, especially the application of various green packaging materials has become a trend and fashion.

At the Flower Environmental Protection Conference held in 2001, the Dutch government vigorously promoted biodegradable flower pots and strived to completely replace the currently used plastic flower pots with environmentally friendly flower pots within 10 years. Therefore, the production of environmentally friendly flower pots has broad market prospects.
