Unique 3 Brown Planter Pack of 2

If you associate plastic plant pots with the words “cheap” and “ugly” you might change your mind after reading this article. Some of the most attractive plant pots and cover pots around these days are made of plastic or plastic composites such as fibreglass. Here are a few of the advantages they have over traditional clay pots:

Lightweight
Anyone who has tried to move terracotta pots, complete with soil and plants, from one place to another, will appreciate plastic plant pots. Despite looking substantial, these pots are so much easier to transport, even when planted.Modern, contemporary styles
Many of us have modern colour schemes in our houses, so why not bring garden décor into line? You’ll find sleek glossy finishes, and the most fashionable colours when you look at plastic plant pots. You can even buy ones that light up in the dark.

Good water retention
This is probably one for really keen gardeners, but it is a well-known fact that porous clay pots need watering more often in hot weather, whilst plastic plant pots make the most of every drop.

Frost proof
A group of chipped and crumbling terracotta plant pots is a sorry sight, but an all too frequent one in the winter months. You don’t get this problem with plastic plant pots though – they are not affected by frost, and should keep their looks for many years.

Can be recycled
We are all conscious of our carbon footprint these days, and for this reason, you might disregard the attractions of plastic plant pots. But in fact most of them can be recycled, and many are actually manufactured from recycled material.
