How to Choose a Vase for Succulents?

Material

The material of the succulent container is one of the first things to consider, especially if your succulent will be in the sun.

This is because some materials, like concrete and glass, heat up too much and can harm the plant. Others, such as clay, compete with succulents for moisture and therefore require more frequent watering. So the first tip is to determine where the plant will be located, then choose the material.

If a succulent is in the sun, natural materials like clay and coconut fiber are preferred. If it's an indoor succulent, other materials can be used.

Size

Succulents are very versatile and democratic when it comes to choosing container size. Most of them grow well even in very small pots. However, under such conditions, the plant will have no room to grow and will be limited by container size. Therefore, if you want your greenery to grow, place it in a slightly larger or proportionally suitable container.

For compositions of several succulents, preference should be given to larger containers with wide openings.

Style

The decorative style of the room where succulents will be placed also helps determine the best type of container. Classic interiors suit ceramic and glass vases. In turn, modern and relaxed interiors pair well with concrete vases.

Clay vases are ideal for boho, rustic and industrial styles.

Drainage

Carefully monitor the drainage of the succulent container. This type of plant does not tolerate excess moisture and water, and is prone to root rot. For this reason, containers with drainage holes are most suitable, especially for beginners in gardening. This is the most reliable way to ensure that the soil does not become waterlogged.

Containers without holes, also known as cachepots, should only be used by those with extensive gardening experience who know exactly how much water their plant needs.
