A person always seeks to create for himself the most comfortable living conditions, whether it be a workplace or a warm home nest. One of the methods to transform the space around are flowers. It seems that everything is simple, but there are a lot of nuances in this topic. The flower should be comfortable in the proposed conditions. The first moment is a flower pot.
Designer things
The shape of the intended pot should match the plant. If it has the shape of a bush and refers to flowering, then a bright flower pot for a flower would be a bad idea. Attention should fall on the flower itself, and not on the bright ornament of the flowerpot. A good option is ceramic pots of chocolate shades, in them you can hide the usual container with the plant. A modest, unremarkable flower should be placed in a beautifully designed, eye-catching pot. Both objects will complement each other with their beauty. To avoid the feeling of bad taste, use lush plants with simple plastic flower pots.
Interior decor
Orientation towards a common color scheme and interior style is important. The plant should not get out of the picture, but it needs to stand out slightly. The calm monotonous atmosphere of the room can be diluted with a bright pot with an exotic flower inside. Classics among flower pots are products of yellow, orange, beige shades.
Materials for flower pots
Clay flower pots are most favorable for the plant. The material allows the flower to breathe and favorably affects its development and growth. If a decorative ceramic pot is to your taste , then it can be used as an element of the interior by placing a simple flower pot in it. Clay walls will take on excess moisture, this is a guaranteed protection of the plant from excess water. At the same time, the plant will have to be watered more often. At high temperatures, the earth in a clay pot will heat up faster, in the cold season - cool faster.
Plastic flower pots perfectly transmit the rays of the sun, providing the process of photosynthesis of roots. No evaporation due to non-porosity of the material. Modern technologies for the production of plastic pots do not guarantee 100% availability of useful components. This can adversely affect the state of the root system if the plant is sensitive. In order to avoid stagnation of moisture in the pot expanded clay is relevant.
A wooden flower pot keeps heat well; it is relevant during the period of seasonal planting. The downside is that wooden pots are short-lived and require care.
Flower pot dimensions
If you miscalculate with the size of the pot, then you can destroy the plant.
A popular pot shape among gardeners is a cone-shaped container. The soil in such a pot absorbs moisture well, favorable gas exchange is ensured.
In round pots there is a danger of acidification of the middle soil layer, which falls on a wide part of the tank. If a flower transplant is necessary, then certain difficulties will arise.
Plants get along well in square or rectangular pots. In this case, the choice is the owner.
Choose the size of the pot depending on the abundance of the roots of the plant. If there is little space for the roots, then the growth of the flower itself will significantly slow down.
