Watering, fertilizing, and lighting play a big role for indoor plants, but choosing the right pot is no less important.
In this container, which can be called a kind of “house” for the flower, activities take place that are hidden from human eyes.
This is where the roots grow. Over time, the underground part grows, reaching impressive volumes.
The mistake gardeners make is that they choose either a pot that is too big or a container that is too small.
When it comes time to replant the plant, its root system is assessed and then a pot is taken that is one index finger wider than it.
The flower will at least get sick if it is immediately transplanted from a small container to a large pot. In such conditions, the plant's roots slowly die, say experienced gardeners.
In addition, in small pots, plants develop evenly: they grow new roots and green mass, and have enough energy left for flowering.
