CONTAINERS - it’s important to use the correct size container as explained above but should you use plastic or terra cotta? Many consider this an aesthetic decision but there’s more to it.
植器——就像前面说的，合适的植器大小十分重要。但到底是用塑料盆还是红陶盆呢？许多人认为这只是单纯的审美问题，其实远非如此。
Plants simply grow better in plastic containers because more moisture is available. If you are growing in terra cotta (clay) pots, you will have to water 3-4 times more often because they dry at an alarming rate. This is especially true for small sizes.
植物就是在塑料盆里长得更好，因为塑料盆更保水。如果你用红陶盆，那就要比塑料盆多浇水三至四次，因为红陶盆实在干得太快了，对于小盆来说尤为如此。
Most growers use plastic for 6 inches and smaller and terra cotta for over 6 inches and this works well. Also you will get a more developed better root system with round pots rather than the square design. Most importantly, all containers must have a bottom drainage hole.
很多种植者在需要6英寸（15.24厘米）及以下的盆时用塑料盆，6英寸（15.24厘米）以上则用红陶盆，这个方法很管用。另外，圆盆里的根系会发育得比方盆里的更好。最重要的是，所有的植器都必须有排水孔。
