Why Kilned Earth Terracotta Pots?

What makes a Kilned Earth pot special?

At Kilned Earth, we personally select each of our pots with care. We visit our suppliers in the village of Thrapsano twice a year to witness the craftsmanship firsthand, handpick our favourites, and eagerly await their arrival in Worcestershire.

How Frost Resistant Are Your Pots?

Are your pots frost-resistant?

All of our pots are fired at temperatures of up to 1150°C resulting in an exceptionally strong pot designed to withstand temperatures as low as -20°C, when cared for properly.

Pot Drainage

Do your pots have drainage holes?

Yes, all our pots come with a drainage hole, as proper drainage is key to their longevity. We recommend checking periodically to ensure the hole remains clear, preventing water buildup that could affect your pot’s durability.

Pot Feet

Do I need feet for my pot?

Proper drainage is crucial for your pot’s longevity. Using our specially designed potfeet raises it off the ground, ensuring water flows freely through the drainage hole. This helps prevent waterlogging and reduces the risk of damage from freezing temperatures, no matter the surface.

Planting Your Pots

How should I prepare my pot for planting?

Before planting, add a generous layer of large broken crocks over the drainage hole.This helps create an air gap for efficient water flow and prevent blockages.

Planting Into Kilned Earth Pots

Can I plant directly into any of your pots?

For pots with a narrow neck and a wider belly, we recommend avoiding directplanting. As the plant grows, its roots may expand beyond the pot’s neck, making removal difficult. If you’d like to use a pot of this shape, we suggest placing a removable plant pot inside.

Identical Pots

Are the same two pots identical?

No two pots are identical due to the natural materials and the firing process, each pot is beautifully unique. While we carefully select the best matching pairs for your order, slight variations may occur. Differences in terracotta colour can also arise during firing, adding to the distinctive charm of each pot. If you have specific requirements, please contact us - we’d be happy to help.
