Many novice gardeners face a lot of problems that arise even at the stage of choosing a pot for their ‘green pet’..
According to the expert of the online publication ‘BelNovosti’, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, when choosing a flowerpot, they evaluate the parameters of the foliage, choosing a large pot for a flower with a lush crown..
It is categorically not recommended to do this – you need to look at the dimensions of the root system.
It is responsible for the ‘delivery’ of nutrients and water, therefore, it depends on it which pot is suitable for your plant.
If you do not listen to the recommendations and make a mistake in choosing a vessel, be prepared for the fact that after watering the soil will become sour.
This, in turn, is fraught with root rot.
If you do not take measures in time, including transplanting the plant into a smaller pot, you can say goodbye to it altogether.
By the way, if we are talking about rooted cuttings and ‘babies’, it is better to use plastic cups for growing them – this way you will be able to observe the development of the roots.
