It is clay from ancient times used by man to create dishes and containers for storing the most valuable and necessary products - oil, grain, wine, water, etc. And this is not only because it was one of the most accessible and easily processed natural materials. Pots of clay possessed the necessary qualities that helped keep the products fresh for a long time.

The main advantage of them is the same porous structure of the walls, which allows the excess moisture to evaporate, so the roots are less prone to decay, in addition, through the micropores, the air enters the roots, which they also need. Large clay pots with plants look more aesthetically pleasing, their natural color, as well as their shape and artistic execution, complement the beauty of the living tree, creating a single composition. However, the porous structure of ceramic pots is also a major drawback, as it shortens the life of the pots. The pores are clogged with harmful organic salts deposited on the walls, they enter the soil and the root system of the plant. In addition, in these containers, due to intense moisture exchange, the root system becomes hypothermic if, for example, the pot is left in a cold room or outdoors in the cold season.
