Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this product is a pot, it’s designed to foster healthy plant growth. When selecting plants to thrive in your 6 inch clay pot, consider their specific needs. Clay pots naturally absorb water from the soil, which can be beneficial for plants that prefer drier conditions or are prone to root rot. However, this also means you might need to water more frequently than with plastic pots, especially in warmer climates or dry indoor environments. Always check the soil moisture before watering; the top inch or two should feel dry to the touch for most plants. Ensure your chosen plant is suitable for a 6 inch clay pot to allow adequate room for root growth.

For optimal drainage, always use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix. This will prevent water from sitting at the bottom of the pot, which can lead to root issues. The included saucer is essential for catching overflow, but remember to empty it regularly to prevent standing water, which can attract pests or lead to fungal growth. When using this pot as an indoor plant pot, place it in an area that receives appropriate light for your plant species, whether it’s bright indirect light for tropical plants or direct sunlight for succulents. Fertilize according to your plant’s specific requirements, typically during its active growing season. Regular observation will help you understand the unique needs of plants in your basalt clay pot.
