Clay is a natural, ecological and sustainable material.

The porosity of the soil allows plants to breathe thanks to the exchange of water and air from the walls of the vase.

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 those are garden vases. They will therefore acquire a patina and sometimes indoors the stains of humidity or limestone are not always good. Inside, sometimes, certain fungi develop.

A terracotta vase never remains in its original appearance.

It will blush, whiten, patina. What is acceptable in a garden is much less so indoors. We draw your attention that the natural patina of the vase is not always very happy indoors. The vases evolve less well indoors than outdoors. Those are garden vases.

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

1. Thoroughly wet your pot with a jet of water or a watering can in order to saturate the porosity and obtain the most homogeneous color after planting.

2. Put stones or clay balls in the bottom of your pot without blocking the evacuation hole on 1 third of the vase to constitute the drain.

3. Then place a geotextile felt

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

5. Pour water all over the pot.

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

• Drain well from the start by following our planting advice

• Do not leave the saucer under the pot in winter

Bring the enameled vases inside. If you are in a region exposed to cold, we advise you to bring your pots inside or cover them with wintering veils.

Enameled vases fear frost.

1. Arrange at the bottom of the vase on 1/3 of the height, stones, gravel, broken pots, clay balls.

2. Lay out a geotextile

3. Lay out the root ball and add the earth.

This drain will allow the roots to breathe and the water not to stagnate at the bottom of the pot and freeze, weakening the vase.

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

Your pot can accompany your life in the garden for very long years, or even outlive you.

What puts it in danger is the wind, which can knock it down if the plant is buoyant or freezes.

Yes of course. This is even better for the plant which will thrive more.

All our vases are drilled. Provide a saucer for vases installed indoors.

For indoor vases of course. There is a saucer for every size vase. This will be suggested to you after your choice of vase on our online store or by the sales team.

Our saucers are waterproof. However, indoors and especially for your wooden floors, we advise you to slide felt pads.

We do not recommend saucers outdoors when possible. Mosquito nest, they must be removed in winter.

To avoid the round trace on your terraces, we recommend terracotta pot supports, or more invisible, pieces of tiling or wood to raise the vase.

Good alternative to saucers outdoors, they ensure good drainage because the holes under the vase do not clog. They are not recommended if you are exposed to the wind.

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

On sunny days, yes. We recommend that you bring it in for the gel as well as its saucer. Enameled pots are more afraid of frost.

The jars have a narrow shape at the neck. Former food containers, they are now placed in the gardens.

It is preferable to plant hanging or climbing plants and small plants in the jars. You will find it difficult to repot the jars if your plants are growing a lot. For shrubs, it is better to choose a vase that will have a conical shape.
