Know before you buy
The raw terracotta finish is porous, which allows for better airflow and moisture evaporation, promoting healthier root systems. The glazed finish is non-porous, making it better at retaining soil moisture and providing a more polished, decorative look.
While the Modena is designed for outdoor environments, it can be used indoors if placed on a saucer to catch water drainage. Keep in mind that the raw terracotta version is porous, so a protective barrier is recommended to prevent moisture from seeping onto surfaces.
Yes, the raw terracotta version includes a drainage hole to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. If you choose the glazed version, please check the specific product listing, as drainage configurations can vary by finish.
Select a size that allows for at least one to two inches of space between the root ball and the inner wall of the pot. The Modena comes in three sizes, ranging from 7.9 inches to 15.7 inches in width, making it ideal for larger, established plants.
Yes, raw terracotta develops a unique patina as it is exposed to the elements. This natural weathering process is a characteristic of high-quality clay and adds to the pot's artisanal aesthetic.
