When raising succulents, you should use flower pots with better ventilation. You can use stoneware pots, wooden pots or purple sand pots. These flower pots have a certain degree of breathability. Relatively speaking, stoneware basins and wooden basins are relatively breathable, while purple sand basins have slightly weaker breathability. Its breathability is mainly related to thickness and size. If you are not satisfied with the breathability of the flower pot, you can drill a few small holes in the bottom.

1. Stoneware pots: This type of flower pot has good air permeability and can be used to grow succulents. However, it is relatively prone to breakage and is not suitable for frequent moving.

2. Wooden basin: Its breathability and drainage are also relatively good, and it also has many shapes, which is very interesting. But the biggest disadvantage of this kind of flower pot is that it is easy to rot, mold, and insects. Flower lovers who want to use it can also apply anti-corrosion paint on the outside.

3. Purple clay basin: It has a certain breathability , but the effect is not as good as the above two flower pots. Its breathability is actually related to the size and thickness of the flower pot. The thinner the flowerpot, the better the breathability.

2. Methods to increase breathability

If you want to make the flower pot more breathable, you can drill a few holes at the bottom. This will not only enhance the breathability, but also make it less likely to accumulate water. Especially those raised outdoors must have good ventilation and drainage to avoid water accumulation during the rainy season. However, there should not be too many vent holes at the bottom to avoid being blocked by fleshy roots.
