Ceramic Flowerpots & Planters

Flowerpots and planters must do their jobs! The utilitarian and pragmatic role of a flower pot is as a container to hold plants, soil, and water. A flowerpot can be so much more than just a ‘container’ for these necessary items!

Ceramic Flower Pots: Art for your plants

Well-designed flowerpots and planters can set the stage for your plants visually in beauty, color, and style. Do you want to emphasize your plant’s foliage or flowers? Do you want a primary or secondary color in a room to ‘pop’? Choose ceramic flower pot that is monochrome, neutral or a contrasting color scheme to set the mood. Colorful ceramic flowerpots and planters can be the perfect choice for your favorite plants.

House Plant Haven: What your plants need in a home

A well-designed flower pot also needs to consider the growing conditions that will offer the best environment to support the basic, practical needs of your plant. Adequate drainage, ample room for root growth, breathable materials are all indispensable necessities for healthy, happy plants. Here are also some other considerations: Did you know that dark plastic plant pots can ‘cook’ your plant’s roots? While red terracotta clay is dark, it promotes the action of evaporation which keeps a plant’s roots cooler during hot summer weather. Thin plastic pots also don’t provide insulation for fluctuating temperatures, While terracotta clay helps moderate temperature shock between chilly mornings and scorching afternoon temperatures.

Easy care: What you need

Your plants need a beautiful, healthy home, but you also need plant care to be manageable! Terracotta is an excellent material for plant pots; it can also tend to dry out quickly causing you to need to water more frequently. My ceramic flowerpots are partially glazed, helping to retain moisture while also allowing air to pass through the unglazed portions.

The attached drip tray (not all but most of my designs)  makes catching the excess water easy peasy while giving you a visual for when your plant has enough water, helping you to keep from over or under watering your plants.

You also need ceramic flower pots that are durable enough to last many years. My flowerpots and planters are made of the finest terracotta clay and glazed in food-safe glazes. The clay and glazes will not fade or turn brittle even in the hottest sun-soaked climates. They are not frost proof, so you will need to protect them from freeze/thaw cycles.
