1. Small seedling big pot
The flowerpot is too big, the plant body is small, the sun is not transparent, the drainage is slow, the water and fertilizer are not easy to control, the growth is slow, but also easy to cause waterlogging and rotten roots.
2. Big seedling and small basin
Big pots and small seedlings are easy to understand. First, the root system can't stretch and inhibit growth; second, the nutrient is not enough, the branches and leaves and the root system seize the water and nutrition, and finally the leaves become sparse and yellow, the flowers are small and few, the flowers are light, and even don't bloom.
Clivia is a kind of fleshy air rooting. It has high requirements for root respiration and air permeability of flowerpot, so it should be planted in shallow basin.
1. Data reference
The data is only for reference, and should be judged according to the size of the flowerpot and the volume of the plant.
1 leaf seedling, every 4-6 plants planted in a 10cm basin;
2-3 leaves of seedlings, every 2-3 plants planted in a 10cm basin;
3-5 large leaves seedlings, each planted in a 10cm basin;
5-8 large leaves seedlings, each planted in a 13cm basin;
8-10 large leaves seedlings, each planted in a 16-20cm basin;
10-15 leaves of mature plants, each planted in a 20-23cm basin;
15-20 leaves of mature plants, each planted in a 26cm basin;
20-25 leaves of mature plants, each plant planted in a 33-40cm basin.
2. The root is not the top of the pot, the flower is not strong
Clivia is air rooted, root top basin, will open a certain gap, more conducive to breathing and growth, so blooming, colorful.
In addition, the plants with shallow roots such as Money Tree, snake plant, pothos and ivy, and the plants with long life, fleshy, cactus and other root sensitive plants are best cultivated in shallow pots.
Orchid is a single root, no fibrous root, like the environment of air permeability and looseness, but orchid also has pseudobulb, which not only stores water and nutrients, but also relates to germination and seedling, so the depth of flower pot should consider the needs of root system and pseudobulb.
1. Deep planting first, then shallow planting
First, plant the orchid deeply, let the false bulb fully contact with the plant material, more germination, more seedlings.
But in the environment of high temperature and humidity, saplings are easy to appear. What should we do? After the seedlings grow out, remove some of the plant material and expose some pseudobulbs, which can reduce the risk of infection.
2. Deep planting in the north, shallow planting in the South
The climate in the north is dry and the pseudobulbs are exposed outside, which is not conducive to germination and growth. The surface of the basin is dry and wet, and the new seedlings are not easy to take root. The climate in the south is wet, which is suitable for shallow planting.
3. Shallow mud planting, deep grain planting
Mud permeability is poor, suitable for shallow planting, granular material loose ventilation, better with deep basin
Rhododendron's root system is very shallow, there is no main root system, but there are many fine fibrous roots, the main group in the upper part of the soil, not deep, so it is best to plant in a shallow basin.
Note: Cuckoo cutting seedlings with about 10 cm clay basin can be, a year later, into a 15 cm flowerpot.
Suitable for shallow pot species of woody flowers are: jasmine, camellia, gardenia, osmanthus, etc., shallow planting can blossom!
The root system of Chlorophytum is developed, and it is generally raised in a deep basin, but the Chlorophytum has a solid skin and a deep and shallow flowerpot. It's better to change the basin once a year.
Such as Petunia, geranium, Nanking cherry, pansy and other grass flowers, fast growth, explosive basin, the best use of large-diameter shallow basin, sprinkle seeds, you can explode into a ball.
It is better to use a higher and deeper basin, such as emerald tree, kumquat, Schefflera, large leaf umbrella and so on, without worrying and good management.
Note: when planting deep basin, the bottom of the basin should be cushioned for ventilation, the soil can not be filled, and the daily maintenance should be less watered, more ventilated, and more watered.
When the deep basin doesn't know what to do, it's absolutely right to use it as a set basin.
