Tapered Terracotta Pot – Sandblasted

A simple, chunky tapered pot with a distinctive terracotta finish that’s unique to every pot. Made from porous natural clay with good drainage and air flow, ideal for growing vigorous plants with healthy roots.

The lava-like quality has a beautiful natural character that complements the silvery leaves of drought-tolerant plants. A good choice for creating a display that needs less watering than most.

The pots are fired and sandblasted by hand, so they could be a mix of any of the shades between the muted terracotta and the dusky grey tones shown in the images.

Available in three sizes, the pots are hand-moulded in Vietnam and high-fired in traditional kilns to make them both UV and frost resistant. As with all clay planters, a few simple measures will keep them in great condition for years to come.

Care and maintenance

Raise the pot off the ground with pot feet, making sure the drainage hole is clear so it can drain freely. Arranging a few crocks in the bottom of the pot before adding your soil will help stop the hole from clogging.

Protect the pot from frost damage over winter by sealing it with wax, wrapping it in bubble wrap, fleece or newspaper, moving it to an unheated shed or greenhouse, or placing it in a sheltered spot.

If using for perennial plants, repot them when they outgrow the pot to stop roots from cracking the base. To know when it’s time to repot, check underneath the pot for roots starting to emerge from the drainage hole.

Please note: due to the nature of the finishing process, the final colour will vary from pot to pot.
