Questions About Retro Pots For Plants
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    There are a number of things that you can do with old ceramic plant pots. Use them to organize toiletries in the bathroom or bedroom or to corral office supplies on your desk. Turn them into holders for your gardening tools or cooking utensils. Larger pots can find new life as umbrella stands in your front entryway. Shop a selection of ceramic planters on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    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.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    No, plant pots do not need saucers. While saucers are not necessary, some choose to place a plant pot over a saucer to collect the water that drains from the pot. Others recommend against saucers because water that collects will keep the soil of the plant too moist, an unhealthy condition for most plants.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 19, 2021
    The best pot for a jade plant is either a ceramic pot or a sturdy plastic pot with great drainage to keep the soil and roots from becoming too soggy. If you have a free-draining mix, either of the two pots will keep your plant happy and healthy. Find a variety of vintage and antique pots for a jade plant on 1stDibs.
