Why don't you plant succulents in large pots?

Why don't you plant succulents in large pots?

1. Unsightly appearance

Because when succulents are first planted, they are relatively small and cute in shape. If they are grown in large pots, there will be a sense of disharmony, and they will not look beautiful, which will affect their ornamental value. It is best to choose a flowerpot that matches the feel of the plant, so it will look more exquisite.

2. Reduce water accumulation

Because the demand for water is not very high at the beginning, it is easy to misjudge the amount of water when watering, and the amount of water applied may not be consistent with actual needs. If you use a large pot, too much water will be applied and the water inside will evaporate slowly, so the upper layer of loam may be dry while the lower layer is still moist. If you water it again, the roots will not be able to breathe, and water will accumulate. In severe cases, the roots will rot.

3. Not conducive to control type

If the flowerpot used is too large, the growth rate of succulents will accelerate, the plant will grow too large and lose its cuteness, become scattered and shapeless, the leaves will become loose, and the beauty will be greatly reduced. If you don't want to maintain the cute shape and want the flower to burst out of the pot, you can choose a larger flower pot.
