Not all flower pots are called control and flower pots. Simply put, root control pots are a general term for a kind of well-ventilated and water-permeable flower pots. The more common one is the green mountain pot, which has multiple permeable holes and ventilation slots. What are the advantages of root control pots? Generally, the roots of plants grown in conventional containers will be entangled, which will affect the growth of plants; while root control pots will not form entanglements, the root system will grow downwards, the root system will be more developed, and the growth will be will be better. The root control basin has good water permeability and air permeability, so there will be no death of rotten roots. At the same time, too long roots are exposed to the air and cannot continue to grow, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting roots and promoting root development.

The root system of ordinary pots is very entangled. What are the disadvantages of root-control pots? The water-permeability of root-control pots is good, relatively speaking, its water retention is relatively poor, so the watering frequency is higher than that of ordinary pots. The hole of the root control basin is a bit large, and it may leak soil. You can add a layer of non-woven fabric with very good water permeability at the bottom, or use it with a tray.
