Pia Terracotta Planter with Saucer

Unsealed terracotta with a matching saucer and a proper drainage hole. The clay breathes, which is what most plants want and what most glazed pots prevent.

A white bloom will appear on the outside over time. That is mineral salt working through the wall, and it means the pot is doing its job. Scrub it off or leave it be.
