Plants and their benefits are countless to human life. From removing harmful toxins from the atmosphere to keeping the temperatures down – there are countless ways in which plants are beneficial to our planet. Our planet is going through an ill-health and only green plants can revive it. But one of the major things that you need to keep in mind is the place where the plants are kept. In ancient times, people used to plant directly on garden or lawn soil. But as time progressed and lack of garden became a problem, people started placing their plants in pots so that they can be moved easily from one place to another.
As the manufacture of ceramics dates back to thousands of years, so ceramic planters have always been in use. Till today ceramic planters are hugely popular among people because of their glossy look. They attach a warm look to any space and are much in demand. But what all you know about ceramic planters? Well, this blog is all about letting you know about ceramic plant pots.
Know What Are Ceramic Planters?
As per Wikipedia, ceramic is a solid material comprising an inorganic compound of metal, non-metal or metalloid atoms primarily held in ionic and covalent bonds. Common examples are earthenware, porcelain, and brick. The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, vitrified, and amorphous. For example, earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain are fired ceramics and are either vitrified or semi-vitrified.
Ceramic planters or pots are made from a finely-textured and light-colored clay which is then glazed. These pots are then fired at a high kiln temperature because that reduces the porousness of the pot. This process also makes the ceramic pots chemically inert.
General Properties of Ceramic Planters:
- Ceramic planters have high melting points and therefore, they are heat resistant.
- The beautiful ceramic planter pots come with great hardness and strength.
- Ceramic pots are also highly durable and thus they will last long.
- The ceramic pots are great insulators which mean there is low electrical and thermal conductivity
- The best thing about ceramic planters is that they are chemically inert. It means they are unreactive with other chemicals.
Benefits of Using Ceramic Planters:
- The first reason to use a ceramic planter pot is that it is porous and thus the movement of air and moisture takes place easily even down to the plant roots.
- Ceramics are quite heavy as compared to plastic pots and that means they can withstand the growing weight of the plants.
- Another feature is that due to the weight of the ceramic pots, they cannot be easily dropped.
- The thick ceramic walls protect the plants from the sudden temperature change. During the summer season, the plants are protected from scorching sun rays. Ceramic pots also trap water or moisture within soil and thus keep the plants healthy.
- Last but not the least, the ceramic planter pots provide wonderful home decor.
