Grower wants attractive pots beyond green plastic. Heard terracotta collects minerals. What about glazed pots? Also wants companion plant suggestions for bog garden.
Mineral buildup isn't the issue—rapid moisture loss is. Useful in hot/dry climates (cooling effect). Otherwise, use glazed terracotta (glaze slows drying). Ceramic cracks in winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Lightweight, freeze-resistant. Downside: UV degradation (fade/crack in sun). Check garden centers.
Good growing!
