The Square Terracotta Pot (13 cm Diameter) is the ideal choice for budding plant lovers who want to give their green friends a sturdy, breathable, and stylish home. This pot is made of natural terracotta, a material known for its breathability and moisture management. Its square shape makes it a perfect fit for windowsills, bookshelves, or small tables, adding a warm, rustic touch to any room.

Terracotta helps excess water evaporate faster, reducing the risk of root rot – a common problem for novice plant carers. Pair this pot with a succulent, a pancake plant, or a small monstera, and you'll have a low-maintenance and decorative eye-catcher in your home.

This pot is perfect for plants with a compact root structure and is ideal for plants that prefer well-drained soil. Thanks to the drainage hole in the bottom, excess water can easily drain away, which is essential for healthy roots.

How to care for a plant in a Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Light incidence for plants in a Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Plants in a terracotta pot like this one generally prefer bright, indirect light. Place them near a window where the sun is filtered by a curtain. Direct afternoon sun can be too intense for some plants, but morning sun or filtered light is perfect.

If your plant shows signs of sunburn (such as pale or scorched leaves), move it a little further from the window. For shade-loving plants, see our shade-loving plants page.

How often do you water a Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm?

Terracotta evaporates water faster than plastic or ceramic. This means you'll need to water it a little more often, especially during warmer months. Check the topsoil: if it feels dry, you can water.

Be careful not to overwater. Soil that's too wet can lead to root rot. Read here what to do about root rot in your houseplant .

Common problems with plants in a Square Terracotta Pot Diameter 13 cm

Plant drips water at the bottom

When a plant starts to leak, it's usually a good sign: the excess water is finding its way out through the drainage hole. Make sure the pot is placed on a saucer to prevent staining your furniture.

If it leaks constantly, you're probably overwatering. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again.

Yellow leaves on your houseplant

Yellow leaves can indicate too much water, too little light, or a nutrient deficiency. First, check the soil's moisture. If it's wet, let your plant dry out for a few days.

Also make sure your plant gets enough light. More tips for yellow leaves can be found in our guide on caring for your plant's leaves .

Pests on your plant

Small creatures like thrips, aphids, or spider mites can sometimes appear. Regularly check the undersides of leaves and stems. If an infestation occurs, you can use our organic Jungle Mist spray , which is safe and effective.

Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot

Roots growing out of the drainage hole means your plant needs a larger pot. You can then switch to a larger terracotta pot or another stylish planter.

Brown edges on the leaves

Brown edges often indicate dry air or a lack of water. Especially in winter, when the heating is on, humidity can drop.
