CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIAL FOR YOUR SUCCULENT POTS!

 

Even when you don't have a clear choice for which type of pot to use for your succulents, understanding the difference between the various types of containers can help you determine which ones are more suitable for your searching.

Not only for esthetic reasons, you want to choose the right containers for your plants, but also to ensure the proper use and durability of the arrangements for your plants.

Plants pots come in a broad range of rates, sizes, colors, forms, and materials. Each particular container has its unique advantages and disadvantages. Here are the various materials from which the planters can be made.

 

TERRA COTTA

 

Terracotta planters are constructed of clay, so they are typically unglazed. They are usually sold in reddish-brown, earthy color, and are commonly available in various shapes and sizes as pots and planters. Mostly, they are priced at a low price that contributes to their appeal.

 

CERAMIC

 

Ceramic succulent pots or containers are finely textured, made from pale clay, and are glazed afterward. These pots are heated at a high kiln temperature, which decreases the porousness and weakness of the pot against the elements. However, in the cold season, if a ceramic pot is left out, it can break.

 

FIBERGLASS

 

Fiberglass pots are made from a mixture of resin and glass fibers. These pots are molded to appear like terra cotta or ceramic pots. To create a better texture, some manufacturers added some limestone clay to the resin blend.

 

PLASTIC

 

Compared with their pricier equivalents, plastic pots are more compact and lightweight. Plastic planters may also be designed to look like stone pots or fiberglass planters. Some may believe that plastic is tacky and tasteless, but plastic containers have become far more reliable and aesthetically appealing thanks to modern technologies and design.

 

People usually ignore the factor of selecting the right pot materials for their plants. It is still necessary to choose the right material for your succulent for their incredible growth and beautiful arrangement.
