Materials

Pots not only come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but are produced in many interesting materials:

• Clay or terracotta: pleasing to the eye but are more delicate than other pots
• Cast concrete: long-lasting and available in a range of sizes and styles. However, difficult to move and not really suitable for use on balconies. Providing a modern touch!
• Plastic and fiberglass: lightweight, relatively inexpensive and available in many sizes and shapes, though not natural
• Wood: a lovely rustic aesthetic, and wood protects roots from rapid temperature swings
• Metals: use for plants set in shady places as metal conducts heat and can affect plants
