Do Ikea sell plant pots?
Our variety of indoor plant pots ensures you’ll please your plants and suit your style. We even have self-watering ones (for vacation days) and some with handles, too (for easier moving and watering). Ceramic pots, for instance, prove versatile for both indoor and outdoor use, perfect for plants that thrive in well-draining soil. Terracotta pots offer insulation, making them ideal for outdoor plants sensitive to temperature changes.Terracotta garden pots are more porous than plastic. This allows water and air to pass through more easily, allowing the plant roots to ‘breathe’ and preventing common plant killers such as root rot.Avoid terracotta pots for moisture-loving plants like ferns, Venus flytraps, and peace lilies since the porous clay dries out the soil quickly. Outdoor evergreens need frost-resistant pots—standard terracotta may crack in winter unless it’s a high-quality variety like Italian Impruneta.Whether you are looking to add life to your patio, terrace or garden, we have a range of traditional or decorative plant pots in a range of materials to suit any outdoor space. Shop the range of your desired plant pot to create a unified landscaped look for your garden.Our advice is to go porous. Porous ceramics like terracotta will dry more evenly than plastic pots, and any wood planter will dry even faster than terracotta. Ceramic planters also are great choices. And if you’re worried about weight, fiberglass planters are ideal for plants 8 or larger in diameter.
Are plastic or ceramic pots better for plants?
Plastic pots retain moisture better so need to be watered less often. Plastic is therefore better for plants whose roots need to be constantly moist. Terracotta is better for plants that need good air circulation around their roots. Plastic is not harmed by frost. Terracotta containers will often crack if they freeze. Metal, concrete and wood containers typically handle freezes well, as do fiberglass and resin pots. Some plastic pots also survive winter fine, but may become brittle over time.Terracotta, thin-walled ceramic, plastic, and unsealed wood pots can weaken, crack, and break when exposed to the freeze and thaw cycles that winter months bring.
What to look for when buying plant pots?
The most important things to consider here are the quality of the material, the design of the pots and the absence of a drainage hole (or at least the ability to close one). Also, before purchasing a pot, pay attention to its diameter and the planting volume necessary for your plant. Kept in ‘too big’ a pot the chance of root rot goes WAY up. Lots more substrate means lots more capacity to hold water. Root rot can be a death-sentence. A smaller pot reduces the chances of root rot, protecting plants from over-watering.Plants in pots need potting up every year or two to allow more space for their roots to develop and to replace tired compost. But getting the right sized pot is important for success and when the pot is too large problems with overpotting can arise.A pot size that’s a snug fit around the roots helps protect our plants from us over-watering them. Give a plant a too-big pot and the risk of root rot from over-watering goes way up. Too-big pots also make it harder to keep the soil the same moisture level throughout.
Are ceramic plant pots good?
Ceramic pots add to the aesthetic of your garden, but they also have benefits for your plants. They are usually of a porous nature, which generally aids in good aeration and sometimes helps in regulating moisture. It helps in reducing any chances of root rot and encourages healthy growth of the plants. Plants in ceramic glazed pots generally grow better than plants in plastic, terracotta, painted or glazed pots. The main reason is because the soil in the ceramic pot is able to absorb moisture better and it won’t dry out as fast.In all seriousness, though, ceramic pots do offer some genuine benefits for your plants. They’re durable, they look great, and they can help maintain optimal soil moisture. Whether you’re nurturing a finicky ficus, a monstrous monstera, or a stoic snake plant, a good ceramic pot can be a great choice.Durability and Maintenance: Ceramic pots are heavier and may last longer, but they can break easily. On the other hand, clay pots are generally more affordable but may not be as long-lasting as ceramic ones, particularly if exposed to extreme temperatures.
