Terracotta is porous: water and air move through the clay. That is perfect for plants that hate wet feet, and less so for those that like to stay moist.
Perfect in terracotta
Succulents, cacti, snake plants, rosemary and most herbs. The clay wicks away extra water and keeps the roots healthy.
Better in glazed pots
Ferns, calatheas and peace lilies like steady moisture. A glazed ceramic or concrete planter keeps the soil from drying out too quickly.
Always use a saucer
Terracotta sweats a little after watering. Our planters come with a saucer so your shelves stay dry.
