Terracotta Garden Pots or Terracotta Plant Pots are perhaps the most traditional of all pots for garden use.

Terracotta Plant Pots may be glazed or unglazed and come in a huge range of sizes and shapes.

Unglazed Terracotta Plant Pots are porous and this may not suit all plants that require regular watering, however with new simple sprays that seal pots this is no longer a problem.

Like all Pots, with Terracotta pots you need to ensure good drainage. When terrac0tta pots sit directly on the ground it is possible for the drainage holes to become blocked and for the pot to flood in wet weather. Using stones or 'crock' in the bottom of the pot can help alleviate this problem. However it is best if pots do not sit directly on soil.

Sealing Unglazed Terracotta Pots
Unglazed Terracotta Pots have a tendancy to dry out quickly, the Terracotta itself sucks the water from the potting soil. Terracotta pot sealants are now readily available and are easy to apply to the inside of the pot if required.
