Flowers, since ancient times, have been the beauties of literati and ink writers, the scenery under the lens of photographers, and the treasures in the hands of the majority of flower friends. However, for newcomers to the flower world, raising flowers is not a challenge. In this endless road of raising flowers, novices often fall into a big pit of raising flowers - the misunderstanding of "raising flowers in large pots". Have you ever chosen a super large pot to make your love flowers look more magnificent and beautiful? Have you ever thought that a large pot can give more room for the roots to grow and make the flowers bloom more beautifully? If you have such an idea, then you may have gone astray. In fact, in the world of raising flowers, flower pots are appropriate, and sometimes, small pots are the best choice for flowers. So, which flowers are more suitable for cultivation in small pots? Today, I will reveal this secret to you. First of all, let's talk about the symbol of good luck - the Fortune Tree. The Fortune Tree is popular because of the beautiful meaning of its name and has become the first choice for many families. But, did you know that the fortune tree is a shallow-rooted plant with no taproot, all fibrous roots, and does not have a high need for water. If you use a large pot to cultivate it, it is likely that the roots will rot due to stagnant water, and eventually your dream of making a fortune will be shattered.
Next, let's talk about the money tree. The fleshy leaves of the money tree make people fall in love at first sight. However, plants with succulent leaves are most afraid of standing water. The root system of the money tree is also rich in a lot of water, and once overwatered, it is easy to cause root rot. Therefore, a small pot is the best choice for growing a money tree. The saxiftail orchid is a favorite of many indoor flower lovers. Not only does it look festive and easy to maintain, but it's also perfect for beginners. However, many people ignore a fatal problem in the maintenance process - the size of the pot. The fleshy leaves and roots of the saxiftail orchid have a strong ability to store water, and if the pot is too large and the water is difficult to evaporate, it is easy to cause the "worse" of the plant. Then we're going to mention Gentleman's Orchid. Elegant and noble, even if it does not bloom, its leaves alone are enough to decorate the home. However, novices are often greedy and forget that the fleshy root system of the Gentleman's Orchid is also afraid of stagnant water. Using a large pot may lead to poor air permeability of the root system, and rotten roots have become a major hidden danger in the maintenance of Junzi Orchid. Finally, let's talk about phalaenopsis. You may not know that the phalaenopsis we see on the market is not cultivated in soil, but grown in glass bottles through tissue culture.
Therefore, when you bring it home, it usually does not have a grain of soil in its pot, but is covered with moss. This cultivation method determines that phalaenopsis is not suitable for maintenance in large pots. Now, do you have some understanding of why these flowers need small pots instead of large pots? In the world of flowers, the right size is king. It's a good idea to revisit your planter in your home from now on, and maybe a small change can make your favorite flower look new and grow stronger. Flower friends, remember? Raising flowers is a long journey that requires patience and care. On this road, we must continue to learn Xi and practice, so that every flower in our hearts can bloom more brilliantly. Be a smart florist, choose the right pots, grow with the flowers, and delight the body and mind. Sometimes, life's most subtle blessings are hidden in the details that we neglect every day. Phalaenopsis and crab claw orchid, two plants with very different styles, are the best interpreters. Not only do they bring us visual pleasure, but they also teach us profound philosophies about growth and adaptation. Today, we're going to decipher the mystery behind this. First, let's talk about those heart-warming phalaenopsis.
It is often said that raising phalaenopsis is like a gamble, and once you master the rules, you can enjoy the joy of victory. And the key to this victory is closely related to the water retention of water moss. Did you know that water moss has a crucial influence on the growth of phalaenopsis? Phalaenopsis, this elegant creature, is strong and sensitive, they love moist air but fear standing water at their roots. That's why moss has become the perfect companion for phalaenopsis. The water retention of moss is undoubtedly strong, but here it is not entirely a good thing. Imagine that when you overwater, that moisture lingers in the moss, like a trapped, and eventually causes the roots of the phalaenopsis to rot. This scene is undoubtedly a nightmare for flower lovers. Don't underestimate this detail. Many novices often make a fatal mistake when maintaining phalaenopsis - repotting. They may want to give Phalaenopsis more room to grow, but they don't know that this act of kindness is the shortcut to failure. Remember, for phalaenopsis, the smaller the pot, the better, otherwise the tragedy of "changing one pot and dying another" is not far off. While phalaenopsis pays attention to meticulous maintenance, crab claw orchid shows a completely different vitality.
The presence of the Crab Claw Orchid, a tenacious desert warrior, seems to tell us that even in the most barren of lands, life can still bloom so dazzlingly and luxuriantly. This plant, which has a similar appearance to a cactus, is a type of desert plant. They are naturally drought tolerant and damp and do not need much care to grow. But again, excessive love can become a fatal wound for the crab claw orchid. Using an oversized pot? That's a reminder because it causes moisture to build up and the roots to rot. Once it reaches that point, even if it is a nine-life divine cat, it will be difficult for Crab Claw Lan to escape the fate of death. Look, that's it, two seemingly simple plants, in fact, there is great wisdom hidden behind them. Their maintenance is not only a test of our patience and observation, but also a reminder of our adaptation and respect for the laws of nature. It's a battle lesson without gunpowder, and only by truly understanding these rules can we become the lucky ones who end up dancing with the flowers. So, are you up for the challenge, are you ready to see the tenderness of the Phalaenopsis and feel the tenacity of the Crab Claw Orchid? Remember, whether it is the delicacy of the Phalaenopsis or the roughness of the Crab Claw Orchid, they all have a common secret: survival of the fittest.
Their growth depends not only on the soil, water and sunlight, but also on those who know and care for them. So, the next time you're standing in front of a florist, pick out the blooming beauties and try to get to the bottom of their needs. Whether you need that water-retaining moss, whether you need a small pot, or if you just need occasional watering and warm care. All these seemingly inconspicuous choices may become the key to your growth with these beautiful beings. Flowers are not only the embellishments of nature, they are the partners of life, the sustenance of emotions, and the friends we need to take care of carefully. When you keep these little secrets in mind, then whether it is phalaenopsis or crab claw orchid, it will bloom with the most dazzling brilliance under your careful care.
