How to Choose the Best Ceramic Container
Ceramic plant containers are ideal for displaying a variety of tropical plants and flowers. Pottery is sensitive to extreme temperatures and susceptible to cracks and chips.
Take your time
choosing a high-quality, durable pot for outdoor locations. Knowing
your requirements before you start shopping will save time, prevent
frustration, and best of all, save money. Follow these tips for
choosing the best ceramic planter:
- Decide what the planter will hold. Choose one that will
accommodate the roots of the tropical plant when it reaches maturity,
re-pot plant if necessary.
- Choose a high-quality, durable container that will be
resistant to extreme temperature changes and less likely to chip or
crack.
- Choose a style. The style you settle on will depend on the
following:
- The plant(s) that will reside in the container.
- The location you choose for the container.
- The design and style of your garden, landscape, or home.
- Select a color and/or texture that will compliment your landscape as well as the architectural style and design of your home.
Caring for Ceramic Garden
Pots
Caring for planters properly will keep plants healthy and
ensure the container is structurally sound.
- If your plant grows larger than expected, re-pot if
necessary. Expanding roots could become root-bound and damage the
plant, or cause cracks in the planter.
- Unlike terracotta, glazed pots are non-porous. Be aware
that over-watering plants will damage the roots.
- Watering plants in freezing temperatures can cause
containers to crack if the water freezes. Be sure to allow for adequate
drainage or move the planter to a location (such as the garage) that
will protect the planter from freezing temperatures.
- Handle with care. Stoneware planters are susceptible to cracks and chips.
