Clay Pot International Pottery Arizona Planters Home

So Many Choices and So Many Questions!

Choosing the right clay pot container for your home and garden can be over-whelming. Some of the more popular styles include terracotta, poly resin, fiberglass, and various forms of international pottery art. How can you decide on the best type of pottery that will satisfy all your functional needs and creative desires?
At Arizona Pottery, it’s fun and easy to search through our various planters, stylish home furnishings and special children’s crafts.

It sounds so simple. Buy an attractive pot, fill it with soil and plants, add water and you have an instant garden. This is not always the case. There are many important variables to consider that will make this experience not only enjoyable but successful.

First, you must consider the size of the planting materials you are going to use. Are you considering small flowering plants or a spectacular dwarf palm tree? Take into consideration what size the plants will be at maturity, not the size they are when you select them. Then, take into account the size of the roots or root ball and use caution to make sure they are not crowded when planted.

Secondly, think about what look you are trying to achieve. Traditional gardening containers are made of terracotta and many dedicated gardeners will not use anything else. The clay they are made from will breathe and they’re well known throughout the gardening community for their healthy properties. However, at this point in time, having other options to choose from is in high demand. Many designers and landscapers want the look of terracotta but would like the product to last longer and be more durable. Applications that call for a very large pot that will hold a tree or bush may require poly resin, concrete or fiberglass. These newer materials are gorgeous, amazingly durable and virtually indestructible. Since they are poured into a mold and no kiln firing is required, you will find them available in enormous sizes.

Lastly, personal taste must be considered. Take into consideration the architecture of where you are looking to place the pots. Does the style reflect a Tuscany Italian pot or something more Modernistic and Contemporary? Do you desire a splash of bold color or will you be planting all evergreens in Sun Baked Terracotta? These are all important decisions that need to be made before planting.
So, pour a cup of Chamomile tea and ponder the look and feel you want to achieve as you look in magazines for the new garden layouts you like. Call Arizona Pottery with questions you may have. And, finally enjoy yourself! This process can be very relaxing, creative and fun. Come see why Arizona Pottery is your home and gardening solution!
