Can healthy plants be grown in plastic pots?
Yes, every year millions of plants are grown to perfection in plastic pots, which have many advantages over clay pots: they don’t break easily, are cleaner, don’t gather algae, are light in weight and need less frequent watering. The one advantage that clay pots have is that water can evaporate from the sides: this is only useful if you over water your plants. Once you understand that plants in plastic pots require less water, it’s not a problem any more. Of course if you have tried to grow plants in many consumer pots with few or only small holes you will have killed the plants- but our pots have more than enough holes to ensure drainage of excess water.
