Terra Cotta Pot Drainage: Alternatives to Sphagnum Moss

Weylin asks what to use for plugging large terra cotta pot drainage holes besides sphagnum moss. Jeff Dallas confirms paper towel works fine: "You're just looking for something that will keep soil media from coming out." Sphagnum is preferred because it also wicks water. Other options include evergreen cones or a rock that blocks the hole while allowing drainage.

Good Growing!
