Terracotta pots never really go out of style. Whether you use them to line your patio, show off your houseplant collection, or set a welcoming tone either side of an entrance, the material brings a warm, earthy charm. And with Black Friday sales in full swing, it’s the perfect time to invest in a few quality clay planters that will last for years.

Quality clay, a high firing temperature, and thicker walls make all the difference, while handcrafted pots are usually especially durable. Along with following a few practical tricks to stop terracotta pots from crackingyou should seek out high-fired or “frost-resistant” labels, which indicate the pot has a greater density and strength. Pots with smoother, well-finished rims and even color usually reflect consistent firing, while thick-walled or glazed bases tend to handle freeze-thaw cycles better.
