Are clay pots good for plants?

1 Answer
Are clay pots good for plants?
Yes, clay pots are good for plants. These pots provide a healthy environment for most plants because material's porous nature allows air and moisture to penetrate the sides of the pot. Clay pots can remove excess moisture from the potting soil reducing the chance of root rot.
