The main differences between clay pots and ceramic pots are the production materials, firing temperature, surface treatment, air permeability, hardness as well as appearance characteristics
Crafting materials: Terracotta flower pots are usually made using general clay, while ceramic flower pots require specific materials, such as kaolin, to guarantee their quality and performance
Firing temperature: The firing temperature of clay flower pots is generally low, while the firing temperature of ceramic flower pots is very high, usually above 1200 °C, and some even reach about 1400 °C
Surface treatment: The terracotta pot can be unglazed, or it can be glazed but the treatment is more casual and will not be particularly fineThe glazing process of ceramic flower pots is relatively fine and the surface is smooth
Breathability: The biggest advantage of terracotta flower pots over ceramic flower pots is good air permeability, which is very beneficial for the growth of plants, especially for plants that need good air permeability such as succulents
Hardness: Due to the difference in firing temperature, the hardness of terracotta pots is relatively poor, and it is possible to make grooves on its surface with a steel knifeDue to the high firing temperature and high hardness of ceramic flower pots, it is difficult to make grooves on its surface with a steel knife
Appearance features: The texture of clay flower pots is relatively rough and not smooth, while ceramic flower pots usually have a glaze layer on the inner and outer surfaces, which looks smooth and is also smooth to the touchCeramic flower pots are loved by many people because of their exquisite appearance and diverse colors, and can adapt to various home decoration environments and easily integrate into various styles
Overall, choosing which pot to choose depends on the individual's needs and preferencesIf you pay attention to the breathability of the pot and the friendliness of the plant, the terracotta flower pot may be a better choiceIf you value the beauty of the pot and the harmony with the home environment, then the ceramic planter may be more suitable for you
