In the daily process of growing flowers, I often hear flower friends ask, what is the difference between gallon pots and plastic pots? This article has the answer for you.
1. Different depths
Compared with ordinary flower pots, gallon pots are deeper than ordinary plastic pots, and the depth of plastic pots is shallower, which is suitable for cultivating plants with shallow root growth, and is less affected by gravity. There are several sizes of gallon pots, and the size of the gallon pot can be selected according to the size of the plant.
2. Different thickness
The wall thickness of the gallon pot is different from that of the ordinary flower pot. The wall of the gallon pot is thicker and has better toughness. It is not easy to be damaged after being squeezed, and it is also very durable. The walls of ordinary flower pots are relatively thin, and the flower pots are prone to cracks after being collided.
3. Different materials
The material of the gallon pot is better than that of ordinary plastic flower pots. Anti-aging ingredients are added to the gallon pot, which is used for a long time and is not easy to deform. Ordinary plastic flower pots are easy to crack after a period of use, and may shatter if exposed to the sun for a long time.
4. Applicable plants
When using gallon pots, you can choose plants with well-developed root systems, such as roses, Chinese roses, brazilian trees, or fortune trees. Because this pot is deeper, the roots of the plants can be stretched better and the plants can grow more vigorously. When using gallon pots to grow woody plants, you can put pebbles, broken tiles or ceramsite on the bottom of the pot to help the water drain better and prevent the root system from rotting.
