Terracotta citrus pot

Product Image
We’re very proud of this elegant pot with its classic, unfussy design that works perfectly in a British garden. The pot is hand thrown in Turkey by Argun and his son, 3rd and 4th generation potters from the Izmir region on the Aegean coast. Made using local clay, the pots will age to a wonderful patina as the salts slowly leach to the surface.

Each pot is fired to 1080°C to make it as frost resistant as possible; however we would always suggest moving empty or full pots into a sheltered spot in the colder months.

To keep your pot in tip-top condition please read our ‘Assembly and care instructions’ PDF for more detailed advice.

As they are individually thrown by hand, the pots will vary slightly in height and diameter from batch to batch, so please be aware the measurements are approximate. Supplied with an extra large drainage hole in the base.

Please note: any white specks in the terracotta are lime granules, which occur naturally in raw Turkish clay. Occasionally when a pot is fired, the clay around them can split out a little, but this does not compromise the pot in any way. The presence of lime helps to bind the clay and ultimately makes for a stronger pot.

Why choose terracotta?

Terracotta pots are excellent for plants because their porous, natural clay "breathes", allowing air and moisture to pass through the walls. This keeps soil from staying too wet and improves airflow around the roots, reducing the risk of root rot. They’re also naturally insulating which helps to protect roots from sudden temperature changes.
