What kind of pot should be used to grow crabapples, a big pot or a small pot?

1. Flowerpot selection

You can use a purple clay pot to grow crabapples. This kind of pot not only has good drainage and ventilation, but also has a beautiful appearance. Clay pots are also very good, very practical and highly permeable to water, but they are easily broken. If you don’t move them often, they are also an option.

You can also use plastic pots and porcelain pots, but the air permeability and drainage of plastic pots are very poor, so you need to use soil with strong drainage. Otherwise, if watering is improper, the plants will easily die. The flowerpot you use should not be too shallow. Try to choose a deeper one to avoid affecting the growth of the crabapple roots due to the small space.

2. Is a large pot or a small pot better?

It is best to use a slightly larger pot as it grows very quickly. The plant is not very big when you first plant it, but it will grow big enough after a while, so choose a large pot for planting if possible. The diameter of the flower pot should not be too small, at least about 15cm. As the plant continues to grow, it should be replaced with a larger pot in time to avoid affecting the expansion of its roots.
