Culture and maintenance of the house plants

Standard and sizes of pot The suitable size of pot is a big factor to be considered. A pot which is too large causes diseases of root because of the excessive humidity maintained in the ground, whereas a pot which is too small limit the growth of the plants. Generally, a plant can remain in the same pot during approximately two years. Several varieties of pots exist, but two groups are generally distinguished: the porous ones and the nonporous ones. The porous pots are usually out of clay and are strongly recommended because they provide a better ventilation during because the air passes laterally by the sides. The nonporous pots such as the frozen pots or out of plastic tend to keep moisture longer and to limit the flow of air. The holes of drainage in addition prove necessary. Usually the pots contain holes in the content to allow excess water to leave, in order to prevent the putrefaction of the root. The old pots should be washed completely to kill the bacteria which can remain. An alternative method of setting out of pot/repotting, which lets at the same time create, inside the vase, a consistent water tank, sufficient at least for fourteen days, contemplates the use of a device sealed in permeable material (woven not woven), which contains inside right very necessary for the maintenance and the drainage of the decorative plants. Pose the device in water, to wait 40 minutes, to give temp to the crystals contained inside increasing completely (they absorb up to 450 times their weight in water), insert in a pot with an adapted diameter, adding your seedling and supplement the setting out of pot or repotting as usual. Manure with slow emission, contained inside the device, ensures the good quantity of food substances for all the season of growth. According to the indications provided by manufacturing it, the device (called " Florero®") is able besides to ensure the correct drainage of the ground, avoiding the putrefaction of the radical apparatus.
