Benefits of Terra Cotta
Terra cotta, Italian for "baked earth," is an unglazed ceramic based from clay. The history of terra cotta includes its use in the famous Terracotta Warriors statues in China. It is widely used today in building materials such as roofing and is a favorite among gardeners to house plants. Terra cotta is useful because of its low cost, versatility, and durability. Because it is porous, terra cotta allows water to vaporize through it, which is helpful to plants, especially if they have an abundance of moisture. It's gas permeable, so helps maintain healthy plants. Its brownish orange color comes from iron oxide in the clay. Compared to items made from other stonework, terra cotta items are much lighter in weight. Overall terra cotta makes an excellent choice in the garden.
