How to Care for Large Outdoor Pots & Keep Them Looking Great

Investing in well-crafted large flower pots ensures long-lasting beauty and usability. Proper maintenance maintains them in their best shape, preventing cracks, staining, and weathering.

General Tips

• Terracotta Planters – Wash with mild vinegar solution to prevent white mineral deposit.
• Glazed Planters – Clean with a damp cloth to retain their glossy finish.
• Iron Stone & Sandblasted Pots – Gently clean using a soft brush to remove deposits of dirt.

Weatherproofing of Large Pots

• Preventing Cracks – Place pot feet to promote drainage and lift pots off freezing ground.
• Prevent Overwatering – Employ good drainage holes to prevent root rot.
• Move During Winter – Relocate sensitive pots to a sheltered location.

Also, sealing terracotta pots will reduce water uptake, preventing freezing and cracking. For glazed pots, checking them for chips and patching them up in advance preserves their protective glaze. Iron stone and sandblasted pots need to be mineral oiled or waxed occasionally to enhance longevity and maintain dark color.
