Climate, Cold & Container GrowingWhy might porous nursery containers increase a mango collection's water use?
Porous sidewalls permit additional water loss from the container itself, beyond water used by the tree. Compare moisture patterns after changing container material and separate contrasting pot types into manageable watering groups. A schedule developed for solid plastic may not transfer. Assess the resulting water demand alongside root temperature and handling, because a material that offers one growing benefit can also change the frequency of routine care.
