Terra Cotta Pots???
    #10093712 - 04/02/09 11:53 AM (15 years, 9 months ago)

Haven't found much on this topic, but has anyone ever considered terra cotta as a bulk substrate container?

I know unglazed can hold alot of moisture, and with it being clay I would assume it would be good at stabilizing temperatures (heats up and cools slowly) for those who can maintain a constant temperature.

It's porous so it could allow limited FAE aswell

Has anyone tried this or has any thoughts??? Just popped into my head today whilst shopping!

other than dumping spent subs into a terra cotta flower pot with decorative plants growing... no.

Ok, I just found a thread :blush: - sorry about that!

After reading Agar's words, I was wondering would it be a good idea to construct a 'shotgun style' cover for the top? Like a plastic box with holes in to sit on top of the pot??? Would this help humidity?

Or would just sitting it in a dish of water, uncovered give a better transpiration rate???

Agar has been MIA for a while. I have seen it used, but I would be worried about the porous nature.
