Pottery Use Recommendations
From: Imports West, LLC

When choosing the size of your pottery, remember the larger the container, the more moist the soil will remain, so that time between watering is minimized.

Most of the Mexican pottery is sealed on the inside to reduce moisture retention in the clay. The paint on the outside will age with weather and time. The Vietnamese pottery is frost resistant stoneware, and can also be left outside.

Through the last seven years, we at Imports West have seen how well the craftsmen have perfected the pottery, and have found it to withstand even the coldest of winters. However, if the container is not allowed to drain, and is holding water, the expansion of the water inside may cause cracking.

In fact, we see a new trend of year-long container plantings using evergreens and seasonal plantings.

Due to the nature of pottery and different conditions we can not make a guarantee, but believe these recommendation from the test of time.
