Caring for your handmade planter:
Since these are raw (porous) terracotta and they will patina over time, we recommend that you do not plant directly inside of them if you want the pots to stay the same forever. We love the patina but we understand that some may not. With that said, you may also seal the interior of the pot with a stone sealer found at your local hardware store. However, if you do seal them, the terracotta will lose its porous quality and that isn’t as good for your plant roots. They will work beautifully with a nursery pot placed directly inside of them and that’s the best way to slow any patina (watermarks & soil marks) while allowing the roots to breathe. No matter what you decide, you’re going to love these!
