TIPS:

1. Flower pots without holes at the bottom, especially porcelain pots and glazed pots, are not suitable for planting flowers directly. It is best to use them as pots, otherwise the plants will easily rot due to water accumulation inside. Also be sure to pour out the accumulated water after watering or rain.

2. Large containers for planting large plants or combination potted plants usually have only one hole at the bottom. If you pile them on the ground, they will be blocked directly. You may want to put two bricks or stones underneath.

3. Many old containers, such as shoes, hats, and even biscuit boxes, can be transformed into containers for growing flowers through creative use. Pay attention to drainage, otherwise use it as a pot.

4. If you have mastered the growth habits of plants and watering techniques, or are determined to plant them again after they die, then choose a nice-looking flowerpot. The beauty of the container can definitely enhance the temperament of a plant!
