Whenever one decides to hire plants, an additional responsibility is to choose the most appropriate pot or container which can not only guarantee better life for the plant but also enhance the aesthetics of your decor. Round pot, square pot, ceramic pot or plastic pot–there are many types of pots an indoor gardener can use to house their plants. On the outset, it might look that the plant container doesn’t play any role, but on the contrary, it is important to choose a pot or container that is conducive to your plant’s needs.
- There are several important criterion which decides the best pot suitable for the growth of your plant. Let’s discuss some of the factors which you should keep in mind when you hire plants. The Pot size: Pots that work best for indoor plants are large enough to handle the plant’s root system. Depending on the growth of the plant, you should take a call on the pot size. The thumb rule is to purchase a pot that is twice the size of the root ball of the plant.
- Pot Material: Pots and plant containers come in all shapes, sizes and materials. Plastic pots are inexpensive and easy to obtain in a variety of sizes and colours. Whereas, the Clay or terra cotta pots are porous and will absorb water and allow oxygen to pass through, letting your plant’s roots breathe. Glazed ceramic or metal containers work well as indoor pots for plants.
- Structure of the Pot: The structure of the pot you choose should depend on the plant type.
- Drainage facilities: Plants need water, but too much water can cause additional problems. Investing in a pot with a proper drainage system will allow your plant to absorb the right amount of water without being soaked.
