Is the epiphyllum self-watering pot useful? It's not a universal pot.
Main content introduction: This article focuses on the topic of epiphyllum care in the home. The epiphyllum self-watering pot is not universally applicable, and the details are as follows:
Recently, some flower enthusiasts have asked the editor whether the epiphyllum self-watering pot is useful and whether it will cause root rot. Currently, self-watering pots on the market are more or less the same, and the principle has been mentioned by flower enthusiasts a few years ago, which is the so-called "thread absorption" watering method. However, now this principle has been turned into a finished flower pot by merchants.
The advantage of this self-watering pot is that it can keep the potting soil at a certain humidity, thereby preventing the phenomenon of water shortage caused by forgetting to water. The initial use of this principle was because it was necessary to go out for a short period and could not water, or to apply it to plants that prefer a certain humidity.
Let's get to the main topic: Is the epiphyllum self-watering pot useful? Overall, the pros and cons are evenly matched because each flower enthusiast uses different media for their epiphyllum, leading to different results in maintaining the soil moisture in the pot for an extended period.
For example, some flower enthusiasts have reported that using this self-watering pot can cause the breeding of small black flies. Based on the editor's experience, if organic media are moist and poorly ventilated for a long time, they are more likely to breed small black flies.
The advantages are also obvious. Epiphyllum can be half soil and half water cultured. Even if the soil moisture content is slightly higher, there will be no problem once the epiphyllum adapts. Moreover, with the guarantee of water, the growth rate of epiphyllum will be faster than when it is short of water.
So, should we use this epiphyllum self-watering pot? The editor's opinion is that if the flower enthusiast has relatively more time and the epiphyllum is kept at home with not many pots, it is not recommended to use it because even if the epiphyllum is not watered for ten or half a month, it will not die.
If the epiphyllum is kept in a public area and there is no special person to take care of the watering, it is considered to use the epiphyllum self-watering pot because in a broader environment, small black flies and other issues can be ignored.
Additionally, if flower enthusiasts really want to buy but are hesitant, they can DIY one according to the illustration in the article and try to raise it for a period first, so they will have a better idea.
