Pots for Plants: *Which size & shape* is the *best* pot for which plant . . . ? - recyclable food containers
I have several, and buy a few used in a thrift store. The forms are different, and sizes. Some have only outlet ports in a 1 raises the central zone, a few V-shaped, etc ... I have excerpts from several plants last year, and they are ready for a new pot. I want the best chance of good health.
Most of my succulents (aloes, Echevaria, Stapelia, Cacti, Kalanchoe, 'Ghost Plant' / Graptopetalum), agave, a small shrub with Ivy, Rosemary, Haworthia, Aeonium, Bird of Paradise Bush / Caesalpinia Gillese and Desert Willow - we have heavy clay soil, but it requires EXC. draining!) The bush and tree, from May to build raised planters for, but I read that they will grow in pots (?).
I also had a pile of gravel, either for personal use or mix with a little clay (and the payment for the daffodils.)
I have no money - or should - the land of the container market. My plants need good drainage in most cases between casting and dry. In all, the pebble for good, asmy feet can testify. But I would in real pots, Go Low, recyclable), a temporary plastic containers (food and water before packaging. I wonder why some pots on the bottom in the vicinity, and some have straight sides --- Some plants better (in some ways and why), O is only for looks?
Thank you!

Hello, and terracotta pots dry faster than plastic containers that will go well, the cactus, then say a few small stones or gravel in the bottom of about 4 cm or 1 ½-inch pan on the soil drainage, which does not allow for plants. In fact, the shape of the pot is not important, because the last person who answered only by her looks, I say that everything is good on plastic containers that is easy to plant, when to remove them earlier, when the new top of the pots smaller than the base is then its hard plants, if they kill grow up, I hope this helps a little, by the way, in any case, buy the best sandy soil for cacti and succulents in land use sand + clay for him to plant a happy day:)
ReplyDeleteAs a producer of cactus I know the benefits of a well-drained soil and pot. It would make no sense to take the trouble to prepare an appropriate mix just put it in a container that contains too much water. Overall, I think the differences are mainly cosmetic in nature. A rule that I use when I hit my cactus pot return to a bowl 1 / 3 higher than that which can currently inch of coarse sand good for some, but no real nutrients in the sand and some of each cactus starve without an organic substance. A large bag of soil can be at Wal-Mart will be $ 3. Mixed with coarse sand would be ideal. I'm talking about plants, but only cacti and succulents.
