We stock a wide range of terra-cotta pots:
Vasums - a reliable basic range with ‘old English’ appearance, inexpensive and of a cone shape which allows for easy removal of plants for potting on.
Other pots come in all shapes and sizes. We aim to sell pots that are not over ornamented and which will provide you with a timeless quality.
Illustrated, the grey pots are Fibreclay. These are light-weight, are classically patterned and have the appearance of lead.
Buying a pot to pot-on a favourite plant? Measure it’s existing pot before coming to choose a new one and reckon to increase the size by at least 4 ins measured across the internal diameter.
Plants with woody root systems are much easier to remove from conical shaped pots. The sides can be lined with polythene to cut down on evaporation. It also makes it easier to remove plants from pots when they are old and have solid root systems. Pots of any shape can be used for plants which only live for 12 months or less, or which never produce a very solid root system.
