What kind of flowerpot is good for orchids

1. Size and Specifications

First, generally speaking, you should not use a pot that is too big or too small. It should match the size of the plant.

Second, if you use a pot that is too large, the soil will be too heavy to move, and it will be difficult to control the humidity, and it will not be very breathable, so the growth will be poor.

Third, if the species is relatively large, a large pot should be used. A medium-sized species like Jianlan should use a medium-sized pot. A small species like Chunlan should use a small pot.

2. Color

First, in order to make it more beautiful, you should choose a color that suits it. You can use plastic pots directly because they come in a variety of colors and are very ornamental.

Second, if you want to promote the growth of its roots and shoots, you can use a black pot because it can absorb heat and increase the temperature, but it is best to place it in an area with diffused light.

3. Breathability

First, except for ceramic pots which generally do not have special ventilation holes, other types of pots have ventilation holes around them.

Second, if the hole is located at the bottom of the pot and there is no air permeable hole in the middle part, it will be bad for the moisture retention and ventilation of the soil below.

Third, when choosing a pot, you should choose one with holes on all sides, and preferably one with holes in the middle and lower parts. If conditions permit, you can make a tripod for it to make it more convenient for it to breathe. If there are no holes on the plastic basin, you can make one yourself. Just use a sharp tool to drill holes in the basin. Be careful not to make a hole too big, otherwise the basin will leak badly, which is not good for it to store water.
