Did you know that flower pots also have their own “accessories”?
If you answered negatively to this question, we invite you to read the story of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Water drainage trays
Choosing a tray for water drainage is not very difficult: all you need to do is take into account the weight of the plant. For example, a plastic tray used under a heavy pot with a large plant may deform under its weight.
Pay attention to the diameter of the tray, which should be slightly larger than the diameter of the pot.
If the plant requires bottom watering, a tray with high walls is needed.
Textile insert for a pot
The textile liner for the pot is made of dense agrotextile and has the shape of a flowerpot, which allows you to create an air gap between the soil and the walls of the pot.
This device helps improve oxygen access to the roots and improves water drainage after watering.
In addition, the textile liner can help form a more powerful root system, since “air pruning” of the roots stimulates the plant to actively grow new roots.
Another strong point of this device is that using such an insert makes the process of replanting the plant easier, since it is easier to remove it from the pot and the roots are less damaged.
Previously we talked about how to grow large and even gladioli .
