Is it suitable to use a large or small pot for dianthus?

Should I use a large or small pot for dianthus?

When caring for dianthus, you need to decide the size of the flowerpot according to the shape of the plant. Generally, as long as the dianthus plant is not too large, you can use a small pot for it. If the plant is relatively large, you can use a large pot for it. Generally, the size of the flowerpot only needs to be about half the width of the dianthus.

Growing environment: Dianthus prefers to grow in a warm environment. The best temperature for growth is around 15-20 degrees. It needs to be shaded in the summer, and the soil only needs to be moist when watering.

Repotting time: Dianthus can be repotted after the flowers have bloomed. Repotting can usually be done in spring or autumn when the climate is warmer. Spring is generally the most appropriate time to repot.

Should Dianthus be potted in a deep or shallow pot?

The root system of dianthus is relatively developed. Generally, when caring for it, you can choose a deep pot for good root growth. If you use a shallow pot, the root growth will be inhibited and the growth of the dianthus will become slow.

When planting dianthus, the requirements for the flower pots are not very high. Generally, clay pots, plastic pots and ceramic pots with good air permeability and drainage can be used for planting. Generally, 2 or 3 trees can be planted in each pot.

How to repot dianthus

1. Remove from the basin

Dianthus needs to be removed from the pot before repotting. When removing the dianthus, you can use a small shovel to draw a circle on the edge of the pot, and then tap the bottom of the pot. This will make it easier to remove it.

2. Root treatment

After removing the dianthus from the pot, the roots need to be processed and the soil on the roots needs to be cleaned. The roots of the dianthus can also be trimmed and tidied. When planting again, just lay a layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom of the pot.
