Terracotta is a timeless pot medium and ours are crafted from a very fine clay and fired in eco-friendly, solar-powered electric kilns in Tuscany. It features a simple yet elegant design that complements any garden or interior decor. The clay is a special type of sedimentary rock that dissolves in water and enables it to be absorbed thanks to a layered structure. Its use started from very ancient times. When clay is wet is very flexible and easily workable. When it is put in hot temperatures it becomes solid and it is called terracotta. Terracotta is perfect for the well-being of the plants as the pot is porous and slightly permeable and allows the exchange of oxygen, essential for plant's growth. It is a natural water storage as it can store excess liquid and can release it to the plant when needed. It offers frost resistance above -15°C, protecting the roots during colder weather conditions.
