What kind of plant pots are good for outdoors? Was moving around some of my outdoor pots and realized they were in terrible shape. Looks like the plastic ones I have are not weather proof :(

I have ceramic pots that have lasted 20+ years outdoors and look like new. Also have wood barrels that have lasted 20+ but don’t look new anymore. My unfinished terracotta pots are in pretty rough shape after 10 years.

I have some that are really big with dwarf citrus growing in them. Got those at a nursery.

I have some terracotta ones in various sizes and they've held up very well. If they start to look pretty bad you can sometimes make a real difference by cleaning them with vinegar. I have some nice glazed ones I bought on sale many years ago and they're still looking good, I typically put showy plants in those. I do have some plastic ones that don't look so good after a few years, but I use them for backyard projects and they don't really get seen by anyone but me.

I usually get ceramic pots as well and it really depends on where i can find one's I like that aren't an arm and a leg. I have gotten several at Home goods and even a few at Home Depot. If you can get them at the end of the summer you can usually find some good ones on sale.

Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.
