Potted plants are a popular choice for people who want to add some greenery to their living spaces. The term "potted plants" refers to plants that are grown in pots, with the plant and pot together creating a miniature landscape. Unlike artificial flowers, live plants are used in potted plants.


Bonsai trees are a popular type of potted plant that can be classified by height. There are extra-large bonsai, large bonsai, Zhongxing bonsai, and small bonsai.


Extra-large potted plants are more than 90 centimeters and less than 1.5 meters. They are suitable for large gardens or large-scale exhibitions. However, as living spaces become smaller, extra-large potted plants have lost some of their former glory.


Large potted plants are 70 cm to 90 cm tall. They can be moved by two people at most and are popular both domestically and internationally. These plants are ideal for people who have larger living spaces and want to display grandeur, style, and an ancient spirit.


Medium-sized potted plants are more than 30 cm and less than 75 cm. They are the most popular type of potted plant and can be moved easily by one person. These plants can be placed in living rooms, on coffee tables, and in auditoriums. They are also the most popular potted plant worldwide, with the highest price and the most ornamental value.


Small potted plants are those under 30 cm tall. They can be moved with one hand, are easy to manage and view, and can be placed on a coffee table, desk, or in small rooms. They are the most suitable potted plant for city dwellers who don't have enough space.


Caring for potted plants is easy if you follow these tips:


Choose the right pot with good drainage. All potted plants must have large drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging.


Use natural precipitation for watering. Collected rainwater, lake water, snow water, etc., are ideal for watering plants. If you must use tap water, let it dry for a day or two before using it to water the plants to allow the chlorine to dissipate.


The soil mix is crucial for plant growth. Potting soil with appropriate peat soil and the river sand should be mixed to ensure good drainage and air permeability.


Provide sufficient light. Most plants need sunlight, but they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Gradually increase the amount of light over time, and foliage plants require proper scattered light every day.


Regularly fertilize potted plants to keep them healthy and growing. Organic or chemical fertilizers can be used, but don't overdo it.


Prune plants regularly, especially those that require it, such as potted shrubs and trees. Overgrown or wilted foliage should be trimmed regularly to stimulate growth and maintain the plant's shape. Clean, sharp shears or pruners should be used to avoid damaging the plant.
