Land in tanks loses moisture faster, so it is especially important to pay attention to the ability of the soil to hold it. If the preferences of the plants allow, would be the best light peat or compost soil. Moreover, even at larger sizes to move containers with this land is not difficult. But much more important. To acidity and fertility of the soil was suitable.
As the container do not use iron container, they can release toxic substances. For this reason, you should not re-use plastic containers, even if they were food. Plastic pots and tubs specially designed for planting is absolutely harmless. Manufacturers can offer a huge variety of shapes, colors and textures. Of plastic containers plus more in their low cost in comparison with wood, ceramic and stone.
But if the eye more sympathetic natural materials, it should be noted that the tree must have vegetative coating to increase service life, and cheap ceramic serial production has no resistance to frost. But the more expensive containers can be the perfect "home" for plants, especially if the surface neglazurovannoy, because ceramics "breathe" through the porous structure, and hence to the roots will flow more air. Stone containers are the most durable and durable, over time their appearance becomes even more attractive.
A prerequisite in selecting the most suitable of the container — the presence of drainage holes, excess moisture is harmful for almost all plants, and for many fatal.
The depth and size of the container should not be too large, "grow", it is better to transplant the plant if necessary. But if delete the old root, which became crowded, the capacity will last for a long time. If the reduction procedure of the root ball is held at the appropriate time, the wound disinfected (e.g. with pounded coal), and are dried, the plant is not sick and recovers quickly.
Skillfully selected container will be another interesting element of decor and change the look of the site in a matter of minutes is not difficult.
