Pots are containers used for holding plants, soil, and other growing mediums. They come in various materials, sizes, shapes, and designs, catering to different types of plants and aesthetics. Pots are essential for gardening, allowing plants to be grown indoors or outdoors, on balconies, patios, or in gardens. They provide a controlled environment for root development, moisture retention, and growth. Common pot materials include plastic, ceramic, terracotta, and metal, each offering different benefits in terms of durability, insulation, and aesthetics. Pots may have drainage holes to prevent waterlogging or come with saucers to catch excess water. They are versatile and widely used in both residential and commercial settings for cultivating a wide range of plants, from flowers and herbs to vegetables and trees.
