Are iron pots good for plants?
1 Answer

Whether iron pots are good for plants is a matter of opinion. The biggest advantage of an iron pot is that it’s highly durable. Many people also like the appearance of the metal. On the downside, an iron pot that lacks insulation could overheat plants when exposed to hot weather. In addition, adding water to iron could lead to rusting. Planter liners can reduce the risk of both overheating and rust. Find a range of planters on 1stDibs.
