Brick Plastic Planter

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are plants healthy in plastic planters?

Ans - Yes, plants can be safely grown in plastic containers. The soil in the pot and the fact that the majority of these dangerous molecules are too big to be absorbed by plant roots mitigate worries about chemicals seeping out of plastic as a result of regular exposure to water or strong UV light.

2. How durable are plastic planters?

Ans - Plastic planters dry up quickly and do not absorb moisture. Although this is beneficial for cold climates, if the plastic planters are flimsy, they can still break as the soil within freezes and swells. The issue with plastic planters is that they sometimes only endure for two to three years. 

3. Which planter style is ideal for plants?

Ans - Go porous is the suggestion we offer. Plastic pots won't dry as uniformly as porous ceramics like terracotta, and any wood planter will dry much more quickly than terracotta. Ceramic planters are another excellent option. Additionally, fibreglass planters are perfect for plants with a diameter of 8" or greater if weight is a concern. 

4. Which is better, ceramic or plastic planters?

Ans - Plastic isn't porous like clay, so it doesn't let as much oxygen or moisture in or out. Therefore, compared to clay planters, plastic planters retain moisture for almost twice as long. This means that plastic is generally a safer alternative than clay if you're the kind to frequently forget to water your plants.
