Are there pottery types that are best for indoor houseplants?

Pottery for depends on the houseplant. For plants which like to be drier at the root, such as: palms, citrus, succulents, and cacti, use an unglazed terracotta pot. For houseplants, like our many tropicals, which enjoy a moister condition at the root, think about glazed ceramic or plastic. If you are growing African Violets, bonsai, or orchids, we have specialty pots just for them.

Q: What is the difference between annuals and perennials?

Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season (spring – fall/frost). Perennials are plants that live for more than two growing seasons. They die back in winter and re-emerge in spring.
