Know before you buy
Because this pot lacks drainage holes, it is best used as a cachepot. We recommend keeping your plant in its original plastic nursery liner so you can remove it for watering, or adding a layer of expanded clay pebbles or gravel at the bottom to create a reservoir for excess moisture.
Yes, the high-density clay used in this pot is frost-resistant. However, to ensure longevity, we recommend elevating the pot slightly off the ground during freezing temperatures to prevent water from pooling and freezing underneath the base.
Yes, the included saucer is specifically treated to be waterproof, which prevents moisture from seeping through to your furniture. It is designed to provide a secure, leak-free base for indoor displays.
The unglazed terracotta is porous, which allows the roots to breathe and helps regulate soil moisture by letting air pass through the walls of the pot. This makes it an excellent choice for plants that prefer drier soil, such as herbs or succulents.
Mineral deposits, or efflorescence, are natural with terracotta and often considered part of its aesthetic charm. If you prefer a clean look, you can gently scrub the surface with a soft brush and a mixture of water and mild vinegar.
