A flower nursery cultivates a certain type of seedling in pots. Through experimentation, it was found that the profit per pot has a certain relationship with the number of plants per pot. When 3 plants are planted per pot, the average profit per plant is 5 yuan. Under the same cultivation conditions, if one more plant is added per pot, the average profit per plant decreases by 0.5 yuan. To ensure the quality of the seedlings, the number of plants per pot should not exceed 6. To achieve a profit of 20 yuan per pot, how many plants should be planted per pot?
