Terracotta pots are inexpensive to buy and yet provide a very beautiful Mediterranean look to your home and garden. Since the terracotta pots are fired at a much higher temperature than the regular clay pots, the finish is smoother and the pots are stronger. This enables the pots to retain their shape and colour even when used outdoors. Earlier, one had to paint the terracotta pots. But now, they are available in a huge range of colours which are guaranteed to last a couple of years outdoors. Myna Batavia , Founder , Green Carpet shares some interesting tips to decorate your home with beautiful terracotta pots.
- Terracotta pots are available in various sizes from desk top planters to floor level planters. The hanging terracotta pots are also available in various sizes and attractive bright colours. The hanging terracotta pots are available with and without drainage holes to accommodate both indoor and outdoor use.
- To match the decor of your home, you can bring the terracotta pots indoors and these pots can be used as cover pots to ensure that there are no seepage and stain problems.
- Terracotta pots are especially preferred for certain flowering plants such as African Violets. Now small terracotta pots are also available in the form of trays in a myriad of colours. These pots can be used to decorate window sills.
- Terracotta pots are ideal for use in high rise apartments because of their lightweight nature. The rooftop gardens, the foyer, the space under the skylight – all these areas can be embellished with cluster designs using terracotta pots.
- Terracotta pots, due to their porosity, are perfect for desert species such as succulents and cacti.
- Terracotta pots are now available with frost proof feature. Thus, these pots can be used in extreme climes without much damage to the plants.
- Since flowering plants look their best in terracotta pots, your balconies, sunny patios and kitchen windows can be converted into a riot of colour with seasonal planting.
So, go ahead and indulge in some breathtaking terracotta pottery to beautify your home and garden!
