Sometimes we don’t even think about the important role the pot plays in the development of indoor plants.

An unsuitable container can cause the development of diseases and even the death of the flower.

Therefore, it is worth abandoning unsuitable options.

Which pots are objectively considered the most dangerous?

Flowerpot

This is a mistake that many novice gardeners make: they forget that the function of a flowerpot is purely decorative. If you use this container to grow flowers, they risk dying.

The planter does not have drainage holes, which is extremely dangerous.

Inappropriate pot material

Some pots may look absolutely perfect, but the material used to make them is not suitable for growing indoor flowers.

Therefore, it is recommended to avoid porcelain and earthenware containers. Glazed pots are also not the best choice.

Plastic

Many housewives consider such pots a real find, as they are the cheapest, practical and durable. But do not forget that almost all plastic is toxic.

Therefore, plants will suffer due to the release of harmful substances.
