According to the different plant shapes: hanging flowers and trees such as wisteria, etc., high tube type flowerpots are selected, cluster flowers and trees such as azalea, etc., which are suitable for large mouth flowerpots; according to the plant size: when the flowerpot is too small, the plant appears to be head heavy and feet light, and when the flowerpot is too large, the soil is not easy to dry; in addition, it can be selected according to the plant height, habits, flower color and home space.

According to the plant shape

Hanging flowers and trees, such as wisteria, Chlorophytum, ivy, etc., usually use high tube type flowerpots, which have a smaller mouth and a deeper body, and are quite interesting with the hanging branches.

And clumps of flowers and trees, such as azalea, Aglaia odorata, Begonia, pomegranate, guayeju, etc., have large branches and leaves, which are suitable for large flowerpots.

Based on plant size

When the flowerpot is too small, the plant appears to be head heavy and feet light, and the root system is difficult to stretch and grow; when the flowerpot is too large, the water holding capacity of the basin soil is too much, but the leaf surface of the plant is smaller, the water evaporation is less, and the soil is not easy to dry, which affects the root respiration of the plant, and seriously causes the plant to rot.

Selection of flowerpots according to plant shape

According to the height of the plant

When the shape of the plant is high, choose a larger flowerpot. When it is low, choose a smaller flowerpot. The overall visual effect will be better
