How to care for a plant in a light cement-colored pot
A beautiful pot is just the beginning. Proper care for the plant you put in it determines how well it will grow and bloom. Below are some important tips to keep your plant in top condition.
Light requirements of plants in a pot of light cement color
The light requirements depend on the plant you're potting. If you choose a sun-loving plant like Strelitzia , place the pot near a south-facing window. Other plants, like Calathea , prefer partial shade.
So don't just place your plant anywhere; instead, tailor its location to its specific light needs. Plants that prefer sunlight thrive in brighter spaces, while shade-loving plants thrive in darker corners.
How often do you water a light cement colored pot?
Watering is often a challenge for novice plant enthusiasts. The frequency depends on the plant species, the potting soil, and the location. In a pot without a drainage hole, it's especially important not to overwater.
Always feel the soil before watering. Is the top layer dry? Then it's time for a drink. Consider placing hydroponic pebbles at the bottom to catch excess water.
The right potting soil for your Pot light cement color
Good soil is the foundation of a healthy plant. Use an airy potting mix that's appropriate for your plant species. For tropical plants, it's best to use a mix with perlite or sphagnum moss to keep the roots healthy.

Common problems with plants in a light cement-colored pot
It's always possible for your plant to show signs of stress. Below, we'll discuss some common problems and how to solve them.
Plant dripping water from its leaves
This phenomenon is called guttation and is usually harmless. It often occurs in plants like the Monstera or the Chinese Money Plant when they have been overwatered.
Allow the potting soil to dry and check whether there is sufficient air circulation.
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves can indicate overwatering, lack of light, or old age. First, check if the soil feels moist. If so, you're probably overwatering.
Also make sure your plant gets enough light. Read more about what to do about yellow leaves and other care tips here.
Pests on your plant
Thrips, aphids, or spider mites can quickly damage your plant. Check the undersides of the leaves regularly. For pests, it's best to use an organic insecticide like Jungle Mist Spray .

Carrots emerge from the bottom of the pot

Repot your plant in a slightly larger pot and make sure you use good potting soil. More information about repotting and preventing root rot can be found here.
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown leaf edges often indicate air that is too dry or too much direct sunlight. This is a common problem, especially with plants like Calathea or Maranta.
