Tips for Picking the Right Pot

Homestead Gardens has the biggest selection of pottery in the area. Containers come in all types of materials from terra cotta, and cast stone to brightly glazed pottery and lightweight polyethylene. Select your container based on personal taste, needs, and affordability. Large containers help protect the plant’s roots from changing temperatures. Lightweight ones are easier to move around. No matter what you choose, good drainage is essential. Make sure any container you buy has drainage holes in the bottom. Adding gravel or broken pottery at the bottom of any container and raising the container onto “feet” also enhances drainage.

The Rim Planter, made out of durable and lightweight polymer resin, is suitable for year-round outdoor or indoor use.
