How to care for a Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Watering - Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Terracotta pots absorb moisture, so your plant is less likely to become overwatered. Water your plant as soon as the top layer of potting soil feels dry. Check the water level regularly and, if necessary, use hydroponic clay pebbles for drainage (see hydroponic clay pebbles-leca). Ensure excess water can drain through the drainage hole into a saucer to prevent root rot.

Light - Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Place your pot in a location with bright, indirect sunlight for most houseplants. The terracotta pot keeps the roots cool and prevents the soil from drying out too quickly in full sun. If your plant is too shady, it will grow less, so experiment with different locations in your home. For plants in full sun, consult our collection of plants for full sun for suitable varieties.

Common problems and solutions

Yellow leaves

Yellow leaves are often caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Check that the permeable potting soil drains well. Consider adding a layer of hydroponic clay pebbles to the bottom of the 13 cm Square Terracotta Pot to better regulate moisture.

Plant leaking water

If your pot leaks frequently, the saucer may be overfull, or the pot may be resting directly on a hard surface. Place a saucer or a waterproof tray under the pot. Refresh excess water regularly or use an absorbent mat.

Pests

Fungus gnats and spider mites sometimes nest in potting soil. Use sticky traps to keep fungus gnats at bay and give your pot a gentle spray occasionally. For more tips, see our products: sticky traps for fungus gnats and plant spray.

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

When roots grow out of the drainage hole, it's time to repot in a larger pot. Choose a pot with a diameter of 15 cm or more and fresh aroid or ficus potting soil for optimal growth. This will give your plant enough room for its root system.

Brown edges on leaf margins

Brown leaf edges can indicate dehydration or excessively hard water. Water regularly with lukewarm tap water or rainwater and increase the humidity around your pot. A plant mister can help maintain the correct humidity.
