What is the difference between a pot and a decorative pot?

A pot is a container with a drainage hole at the bottom. The plant is repotted directly into it and requires a saucer to catch the water. A decorative pot is a decorative container without a hole. The plant stays in its original plastic pot (with a hole) which is placed inside the decorative pot. The decorative pot is easier to use and to change according to your decor preferences.

How to choose the right pot size for my plants?

The diameter of the pot should be 2 to 4 cm larger than the plant’s current pot. A pot that is too small causes cramped roots and slowed growth. A pot that is too large leads to excess water and root rot. Measure the diameter of the current pot and add 2 to 4 cm. Make sure the plant’s pot fits easily inside the decorative pot with 1 to 1.5 cm of space.

Are recycled plastic pots of good quality?

Should you drill a hole in a decorative pot?

No, you should never drill a decorative pot! A decorative pot is designed to hold the plant’s original plastic pot (with drainage hole). If you drill the decorative pot, it will no longer be watertight and water will leak out. Keep the plant in its original pot and place it inside the decorative pot. Remove excess water after watering or add clay pebbles at the bottom.
