Terracotta Pot

The terracotta pot is a classic. Natural and porous, it allows roots to breathe and develops a beautiful patina over time.

Terracotta pots grouped in different sizes create a charming plant corner. New for a clean look, or patinated (moss, limestone) for character.

Pitfall: a terracotta pot left outside in winter can crack due to frost. Bring them indoors or choose frost-resistant pots.

The main advantages of a terracotta pot are its porosity, which allows for better root oxygenation, as well as its natural and timeless appearance that perfectly complements many interior or exterior decor styles.

To choose the right size terracotta pot, you need to consider the size and root system of your plant. Opt for a pot slightly larger than the current root system, to allow space for the plant's future growth.

Terracotta pots can have different finishes, such as a raw and natural look, a smooth and shiny glaze, or an old and irregular patina. Choose the finish that will best harmonize with your decor style.

To maintain a terracotta pot, start by rinsing it regularly with clear water. You can also gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush to remove limescale or moss deposits. Avoid aggressive cleaning products that could damage the material.

When planting in a terracotta pot, make sure to drain the bottom of the pot well to avoid water stagnation. Also use a suitable substrate, which will allow for good root aeration. Finally, protect the pot from shocks and scratches that could crack it over time.
