About Classic Terrracotta Pots

http://www.classicterracotta.co.uk/ With terracotta pots it is essential to provide some sort of drainage material in the base of the container. With small pots, this can be small pieces of pot, known as crocks or gravel. When planting in large pots, re-cycle polystyrene plant trays as drainage material. Lumps of polystyrene are excellent for this purpose and as they retain warmth, they are of additional benefit to the plant.

Almost every style and size imaginable is available in terracotta, from huge floor-standing planters for trees, to simple rustic flower pots and wall planters. They remain forever charming and appealing to all ages or style of garden.
