Square or Round

Terracotta pots

That’s pots as opposed to pegs and holes….

I’m in a bit of a tizz ‘n’ tangle today so just a quick post on a tip to make sure your plant roots don’t end up the same way.

In a round pot the roots of the plant just keep growing round and round and if not repotted will form a dense mass. However the corners of a square pot prevent the roots behaving in this way, so their route around the pot is less tight and therefore they form less of a tightly wound ball.

Has anyone else come across this tip or know from experience if this is the case ?
