How to Choose the Right Pot for a Flower: Don't Make This Mistake - Don't Look at the Crown of the Plant
Many novice gardeners face a lot of problems that arise even at the stage of choosing a pot for their “green pet”.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , when choosing a flowerpot, they evaluate the parameters of the foliage, choosing a large pot for a flower with a lush crown.
It is strongly not recommended to do this – you need to look at the dimensions of the root system.
It is she who is responsible for the “delivery” of nutrients and water, therefore, it depends on her which pot is suitable for your plant.
If you do not listen to the recommendations and make a mistake in choosing a vessel, be prepared for the soil to become sour after watering.
This, in turn, is fraught with root rot.
If you don’t take timely measures, including replanting the plant into a smaller pot, you may say goodbye to it altogether.
By the way, if we are talking about rooted cuttings and “babies”, it is better to use plastic cups for growing them – this way you will have the opportunity to observe the development of the roots.
