What pots should I use to grow Clivia?

1. Choose the material of the flower pot

1. Clay pots: Because the plants are afraid of stagnant water, you should choose clay pots with strong drainage capabilities. Clay pots are relatively cheap and easy to obtain, but clay pots are not very beautiful in appearance, so if you want to put them in a more upscale place, you can use beautiful ceramic pots instead.

2. Glazed pots: This type of pot has many patterns and is finely processed. The shape can also be selected according to your preferences. It will look better to grow plants in this type of pot, but this type of pot is generally more expensive.

3. Plastic basin

Plastic pots come in a variety of colors and are cheaper than glazed pots. They are also more convenient to use. Generally, there are drainage holes under the pots, which is more conducive to drainage. However, the air permeability of this type of plastic pot is slightly poor and is not suitable for long-term use.

2. Size

The size of the flowerpot should be chosen according to the size of the plant. If the flowerpot is too small, the roots of the plant will gather together, which is not conducive to the plant's absorption of nutrients. If the flowerpot is too large, it will absorb more water, and the water will not be lost easily, which will cause root rot.
