Terracotta Grow Pot short

These grow pots have no base, so can be nestled into your top soil in the bed or boarder and then filled with compost and planted up. They are ideal for plants that like a warmer rootball and are useful for keeping fruits such as strawberries or courgettes off the ground. Using a combination of different sizes and heights of grow pots together in groups will lift and expose specific plants creating points of detail and interest. Make sure that you push or dig the pots in at least 70mm into the soil so that the roots of the plant will be able to draw moisture up from the surrounding area once the plant has matured. Copper tape can be wrapped around the grow pots to help prevent snail and slug damage to the potted plants. Measurements: Short: height 24cm; diameter 26cm; Tall: height 40cm; diameter 30cm. Each pot is fired to 1080 degrees C to make them as frost resistant as possible. However we would always suggest that, just to be extra safe, in the very cold months that you move empty or full pots into a sheltered spot. Our pots are all hand thrown so each pot is slightly different in thickness and shape which gives them their unique character.
