What kind of pot should be used to plant iron trees?

1. Choose a basin

The flowerpot used for planting iron trees must have good air permeability. This is very important. Don't ignore the air permeability of the flowerpot just for the sake of aesthetics. You can use ceramic pots, purple clay pots, and tile pots. There is no specific limit for the size of the flowerpot. It should be determined according to the size of the iron tree, as long as it is not particularly large or small. Usually, as long as the plant is not particularly large, a flowerpot diameter of about 20-30cm will be sufficient.

If the flower pot you are using is not very breathable, you can also make a few air holes at the bottom of the flower pot. These holes can also allow the accumulated water to drain out better. When you first start planting, you can use a smaller flowerpot. When it grows a little bigger, you can change to a larger pot.

2. Precautions

1. The flowerpot for planting iron tree should not be too shallow. A pot that is too shallow is very detrimental to its root system and will directly affect its normal growth.

2. If you use an old flower pot that has been used before, you must disinfect it before planting, because there may be germs from previously planted plants in the pot, so as not to harm the root system of the iron tree.
