What type of container is best for outdoor plants?
Clay pots or terra cotta containers are more porous than other types of flower pots. They let air and moisture move in and out, which is important for the health of your plant. They’re usually heavier than wood or plastic planters, so they’re less likely to tip over if your plant is top-heavy. Clay pots breathe; plastic traps heat and moisture. Terracotta keeps roots cooler and soil balanced, ideal for India’s tropical conditions.
