Amaryllis is suitable for growing in slightly deeper flower pots. Except for newly planted small plants, which can be used in shallow pots, the rest should use deep pots. However, the depth of the flower pot should not be too deep, otherwise it will affect the breathing of the plant roots. The flower pot you choose should have good air permeability and can be grown in a clay pot. Generally, the volume of the flower pot is twice the size of the plant's root system.

To plant amaryllis in different growth stages, the flower pots used are also different. If you are cultivating small plants, you can use shallow pots first, because the root system of the plant is still very small, and the growth of the root system will not be hindered by the small pot. However, if you are cultivating mature plants, try to use deep pots. Compared with deep pots, shallow pots have less space and poor water retention, which may affect its normal growth. Of course, you cannot use a pot that is too deep. A slightly deeper pot is best.

When cultivating amaryllis, the first requirement when choosing a pot is good air permeability, because the roots of the plant are very afraid of water and are very fragile, and the material of the pot is not good. You can use earthenware pots for cultivation, and the size of the flowerpot should also be suitable. The volume of the flowerpot is twice the size of the plant's root system. A flowerpot of this size has enough space for the plant's root system to stretch.
