When growing and maintaining flowers at home, you must first have a suitable container. A look that harmonizes with the flowers being cared for can give greater ornamental value and a texture that matches the environment in which the flowers are grown.

It promotes a healthier flower condition, so the choice of the pot is actually quite important. Today we bring you several types of pots, all of which differ in terms of material.

We will summarise their advantages and disadvantages one by one so that later flower breeding can be used as a reference to choose a pot.

1. Plastic flower pots

Advantages: lightweight, not afraid of bumps, cheap, more colorful.

Disadvantages: not breathable, and it will cause caking to some special soil.

Plastic flower pots are very common, especially in flower markets where most of the flowers are sold in plastic pots.

They have obvious advantages and disadvantages and are widely used. On balance, plastic pots are suitable for flowers that are more tolerant of moisture, such as turtleback bamboo and calla lilies.

Plastic plant pots are also used during the seedling stage for vegetables or flowers because they are light and easy to use. Plastic flower pots are not very expensive in the first place, and plastic flower pots are generally very light compared to resin flower pots and have a brittle and hard texture when pinched.

2. Ceramic flower pots

Advantages: colorful, generally high-temperature firing, use for a long time.

Disadvantages: fragile, poor drainage, and air permeability.

Ceramic pots are also currently used for a long time, it is common to see them in home breeding, their painted patterns can be very good to set off the plants in the pot, light resistance, and longer life.

They are suitable for most flowers, but because of their poor permeability, they should be chosen carefully for flowers that are not wet.

3. Cement planters

Pros: Durable, good frost protection, patterns can be used at will.

Disadvantages: bulky and difficult to carry.

Cement flower pots are considered to be emerging in recent years, many crafty people with plastic buckets or towels can make their own flower pots, which also drives it into the home flower farming vision.

However, the permeability and drainage of this kind of flower pot are also not very good, and the tone has too high, in some Chinese decoration-style living rooms, it is not recommended to choose.

The cement planter, which is a more sought-after type of planter after the Scandinavian style of home décor has become popular. The Scandinavian style is known for its simplicity and its colors are mostly black, white, and grey as well as some metallic and original wood colors, focusing on lines and simplicity. A concrete planter in grey, with straight lines, is a very industrial style, and a vibrant plant, such as a large ficus or a variegated wood, is a very good match.

Of course, there are also florists who are very whimsical and use their old shoes as planters, filled with moist soil to grow foliage and flowering plants for the terrace.

In short, people who like to raise flowers love life, and when they have free time, they can make their own flower pots to raise flowers, which is very creative and can be tried by flower lovers.
