Clay is a natural, eco-friendly, and durable material. Clay waste is not polluting. On the contrary, it can be reused, especially to enrich soils. The porosity of the soil allows plants to breathe thanks to the water and air exchange from the walls of the pot.

Terracotta pots also provide good thermal insulation, protecting the roots from heat in summer or cold in winter.

Of course, but we must not forget that these are garden vases. Therefore, they will develop a patina without being washed by the rain, the cold, the water jet... Indoors, moisture or lime stains are not always a good look, as the environment is cleaner. Moreover, fungi develop very well indoors, as the temperature is mild and the surface of the pot is moist. Sometimes it really disfigures the vase. Regular indoor maintenance is necessary with white vinegar, hydrochloric acid, or chlorine for moss.

A terracotta vase never remains in its original appearance.

It will blush, whiten, and develop a patina. What is acceptable in a garden is much less so indoors. We draw your attention to the fact that the natural patina of the vase is not always very pleasant indoors. Vases evolve less well indoors than outdoors. These are garden vases. The patina can be charming; it really depends on the type of soil and the exposure of the vase. Both indoors and outdoors, do not hesitate to clean your vases with white vinegar or hydrochloric acid for mostly white stains, and chlorine for blackish or green stains.

For a conical pot, choose a vase that is 1/3 the height of the pot, and 2/3 for the plant. For the diameter, take at least 2 cm more than the original container.

1. Thoroughly wet your pot with a jet of water or a watering can to saturate the porosity and achieve the most uniform color after planting.

2. Place stones at the bottom of your pot without blocking the drainage hole, covering one third of the pot to create the drainage layer.

3. Then place a geotextile felt

4. Finally, pour in the soil or potting mix.

5. Water evenly

Our unglazed terracotta pottery all have good frost resistance, provided that certain rules are followed:

• Ensure proper drainage from the start by following our planting advice
• Do not leave the saucer under the pot in winter 

Bring glazed vases indoors. If you are in a region exposed to cold, we advise you to bring your pots indoors or cover them with wintering veils.
Glazed vases are susceptible to frost.

1. Place stones, gravel, broken pots, and clay pebbles at the bottom of the vase, up to 1/3 of its height.

2. Place a geotextile fabric.

3. Place the root ball and add soil.

This drainage will allow the roots to breathe and prevent water from stagnating at the bottom of the pot and freezing, which could damage the vase.

Our pots are not guaranteed. If your vases deteriorate abnormally within the first 2 years following your purchase, please let us know by sending photos of the issue with our stamp visible in the photo.

Your pot can accompany your life in the garden for many years, perhaps even outliving you.

What puts it at risk is the wind, which can knock it over if the plant acts as a sail, or the frost, or other household accidents.

Yes, of course. This is even preferable for the plant which will thrive more as it will breathe better due to the soil's porosity.

All our pots have holes. Plan to use a saucer for pots placed indoors.

For indoor vases, of course. There is a saucer for every size of vase. You will be suggested one after you choose a vase on our online store or by our sales team.

Our saucers are waterproofed. However, indoors, especially for your wooden floors, we recommend slipping felt pads underneath. Saucers rarely age well as they collect stagnant water. It is necessary to clean them often or replace them.

We advise against using saucers outdoors when possible. They can become mosquito breeding grounds, so they should be removed in winter.

To avoid round stains on your patios, we recommend using terracotta pot stands, or for a more invisible solution, pieces of tile or wood to elevate the vase.

A good alternative to outdoor saucers, they ensure proper drainage as the holes under the vase do not get clogged. They are not recommended if you are exposed to wind.

3 supports per pot except for pots with a diameter of 100cm, for which we recommend 4 supports.

In fine weather, yes. We recommend that you bring it inside for the frost, as well as its saucer. Enamelled pots are more susceptible to frost damage. By the sea, they will visibly be attacked by the salt.

The jars have a narrow neck shape. Formerly used as food containers, they are now placed in gardens.

It is preferable to plant trailing or climbing plants, small plants in the jars. You will have difficulty repotting the jars if your plants grow significantly. For shrubs, it is better to choose a vase with a conical shape.
