Different pots have different uses for your home plants and planters. Plants behave differently in plastic containers than they do in glazed ceramic pots, and each pot has its own set of care instructions. So what is the difference between these various pots and planters? It comes down to breathability and moisture retention. Here are things to consider when looking for the perfect potted home for your plants.
What are the benefits of a plastic plant pot?
Plastic pots refer to the hard plastic pots you find at your local gardening or hardware store (not to be confused with the thin plastic planters that come with newly bought plants). The benefits of plastic pots are their ability to hold in moisture and their overall light weight.
