FAQ About Choosing the Right Pots and Containers for Indoor Plants
How do different pot materials impact plant health?
The material of the pot can significantly affect plant health by influencing air and moisture dynamics. Terracotta pots are porous and promote air circulation, reducing the risk of root rot. Ceramic and plastic tend to retain moisture longer, which can be beneficial in dry environments but risky in humid conditions. Metal can heat up and cool down quickly, impacting root systems, while wooden pots maintain moisture but require monitoring for decay.
