Terracotta Clay Planters & Pots ~ popular for all garden styles!
Terracotta planters are made from one of the very first materials used by the human race. Terracotta clay continues today as the most popular material for outdoor garden planters. Although their appeal is undeniable, clay pots need a little extra care to ensure they last a long time in your garden. Look for the thicker, rather than the thin-walled planters, as they are more durable, stable and chip-resistant.![Terracotta Pot](https://www.all-about-planters.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/nightday.jpg)
Characteristics of Terracotta Planters
Benefits:- terracotta planters come in a wide range of styles, sizes and shapes
- are usually bottom heavy which prevents blowing over in windy conditions
- warm earthy natural look compliments most garden themes
- terracotta pots are porous so may require extra watering, particularly in hot summers
- lighter terracotta pots are breakable, chip easily and are prone to cracking in cold-weather zones when soil freezes and expands
- some clay planters absorb minerals, especially salt and may produce a crusty build-up on the outside
- clay and terracotta pots must be emptied, cleaned and stored where they will not be subject to freezing
