Terracotta Pots
Buy Terracotta Pots to enhance the awesome appeal of your interior. Choose from a huge range of Cypress, Ball, Spiral & Boxwood Topiaries at Topiary Trees!
Outdoors or indoors we offer an extensive selection of terracotta pots, planters and pedestals to showcase topiaries for home and business. Our products can go from outdoors to indoors or remain outdoors year round. They resist freezing because our composite stone blended with synthetic fibers bends instead of fractures like traditional terra cotta. All our pots are weather and frost proof guaranteed.
Terra cotta pots are the standard when it comes to containers for houseplants and even outdoor plants. Their popularity has much to do with the fact that they are inexpensive, plentiful and have a simple aesthetic quality. Terra cotta pots drain well because of the drainage hole found at the bottom and because the pot itself is porous. These two features also allow air to reach the roots of the plants and prevent root rot. The best terra cotta pots have been fired at high temperatures and have thick walls, and the name terra cotta means "baked earth." Firing at high temperatures reduces the risk of the pot cracking during cold weather.
How They’re Made
Terra cotta pots are mass produced, but a person can actually make their own if they have access to a good potter’s wheel and a kiln. The potter takes a cylinder of clay and wedges, or kneads it to make sure that it is homogenized and free of air pockets. Then, it is thrown on the potter’s wheel.
As the wheel spins, the potter, using wet hands, shapes the clay into whatever shape they want. Some potters stamp their name, the date and the wet weight of the clay on the pot before it’s dried and fired. A personalized terra cotta pot can also have the buyer’s name and their favorite symbol or even family coat of arms.
After it's made, the clay pot is allowed to dry. They smooth the pot with a fettling knife, and add a drainage hole. Large drainage holes are covered with mesh or shards to keep soil from leaking out of the pot.
Some potters have a drying room where they place the pots for a few days. If the pots aren’t completely dry when they go into the kiln, they shatter.
Groups of dry pots are stacked inside each other and placed in a kiln that’s a bit over 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. How long the pot stays in the kiln depends on its size.
What Type of Plant should Be Put in a Terra Cotta Pot?
Just about every plant can do well in a terra cotta pot, but there are different-sized pots that are best for certain plants. A terra cotta pot called a long tom is great for a plant with a long tap root, such as dill. A larger pot called the full pot is for general planting. Seed pots are wide but shallow and used to start seeds. These pots are also excellent for bulbs. Seeds can also be started in individual mini terra cotta pots, or starting pots. The gardener needs to be careful to keep the starting mix in these tiny pots moist, because they tend to dry out quickly.
Types of Pots
Terra cotta pots can also be boxes, trough-like clay planters and little round pots with handles. They can be rimmed or rimless, and there are drainage trays to fit nearly every size of pot. They can come in a planter set of three or more identical pots with a mutual drainage tray. Gardeners adore their versatility.
We offer large frost proof pots to add a touch of elegance to the entry way or promenade of a home or business. Small terracotta pots give patios and other small spaces an upscale finish.
