Why choose terra cotta pots? --Clay pots are typically not painted or glazed. This means that they can wick and disperse moisture around the root zone of plants. This is helpful because it makes it more difficult to over-water a plant AND if a plant is underwatered it will wick up and water left in the saucer. Best of all, terra cotta pots are inexpensive and lend a rustic vibe to your plant collection and decor. All pottery is available for in-store pickup only.
