Plants and Flowers

Most people who are going to grow succulents or cactus plants in usual flower pots think that the clay pot are better than simple and cheap plastic ones. All this just depends on personal preference and individual habits. Any pot, plastic, plain clay or glazed clay pots will be good provided it has a hole in the bottom for water drainage. In any case, it is very important that the roots never soak for long time in standing water and avoid leaving standing water in a dish under a pot.
Roots need space to grow and the size of the pot is important as in case with any other pot plant. Often it is better to leave some space for the roots to grow than to try and take small one. It’s true that a smaller container will dry out more quickly, but if the roots are restricted in growth, it will put the plant at risk of a fungal infection. In fact, there are only several species which need to be restricted in pot, because they used to grow in the restricted spaces in rocks in nature, but most varieties are thrive when have a lot of space for growth.
