First of all, in terms of size and specification, we should choose the basin that is most suitable for its shape, neither too large nor too small. In terms of color, it can be matched according to the color of its flowers. If you want to increase its temperature and speed up sprouting, you can choose black. The most important thing is to have good air permeability. It's better to choose the basin with the hole at the middle and lower part of the basin, or make the hole by yourself.

I. size specifications

First, generally speaking, you can't use too large basin to plant, or too small basin to plant. You should match the size of the plant

Second, if you use too large basin, the soil is too heavy to move easily, and it will be difficult to control the humidity and air permeability, the growth will be in a bad condition.

Third, if the size of the larger varieties to use large basin, such as Jianlan this medium size basin should be used, such as Chunlan this small size basin should be used.

2. Color

Second, if you want to promote the growth of its roots and buds, you can use a black basin, because it can absorb heat and increase temperature, but it's best to put it in the area with astigmatism.

3. Air permeability

First, in addition to ceramic pots generally do not deliberately make air holes, other types of pots have air holes around.

Second, if the hole is at the bottom of the basin and there is no air hole in the middle part, it is not good for the moisture and air permeability of the soil below

Third, when choosing a basin, you should choose one with holes in all directions, preferably in the middle and lower part. If possible, you can make a scaffold for it, which is more convenient for it to breathe. If there is no hole on the plastic basin, you can make it by yourself. Use a sharp tool to drill a hole in the basin. Be careful not to make a big hole, otherwise the basin will leak seriously, and the water stored in it is not good
