    I’m posting this bonehead mistake I made for brand spanking new gardeners. Know that you’ll all the time make errors, even in case you’ve been gardening for many years, as I’ve.

    cracked terra cotta pot from winter weather

    I knew higher. It’s physics. Terra cotta pots increase and contract with the climate as a result of they’re fabricated from clay (technically a clay-based ceramic). Due to this fact, you shouldn’t maintain them exterior all winter, the place they’re topic to repeated freezing and thawing. The last word outcome could also be a pleasant massive crack that splits the pot extensive open. Often, someday in October, I put them in my storage and retailer the flower bulbs I’m overwintering in them (dahlias, calla lilies, and the like). I did that with all however one pot this yr and I paid the value.

    Blame it on the hyacinths

    It’s the hyacinths’ fault. I really like them, adore them. Their magnificent flowers sign that winter is certainly behind us, and it’s time to begin rising greens and different enjoyable issues. I’ve tons of hyacinths planted in my backyard: brief ones, tall ones, purple ones, pink ones, and white ones. They actually placed on a blinding show.
    However I wish to take pleasure in their magical scent up shut – I’ll admit it’s nearly like a drug to me. So I additionally need a pot of hyacinths on my porch within the spring the place the scent can waft over me whereas even letting the canine out to do his enterprise for a couple of minutes. Certain, I may purchase a greenhouse-grown pot of hyacinths on the backyard middle in April – I’ve many occasions, however I needed a LOT of them on my porch subsequent spring. So I purchased a package deal of bulbs and organized them in a terra cotta pot final November. I figured that I’ll add some pansies on high in April, and it is going to be great.

    Hyacinth bulbs want a interval of chilly climate to bloom

    Hyacinths want a “cooling” interval of at the very least 13 weeks under 40 F to bloom. So in case you’re not planting them within the floor within the fall, you both should maintain them in a pot exterior from late fall into winter or chill them in your fridge. I selected the pot open air.

    After all, I knew higher. I ought to have used a plastic flower pot. However all have been in any other case occupied or plain previous ugly (I’m not pot-shaming, however I would like one thing not garden-center black on my porch). Being the cheapskate I’m, I didn’t wish to purchase one other pot, so I made a decision to throw warning to the wind and use a favourite terra cotta pot.

    Effectively, I used to be by no means fortunate at playing, and Mom Nature schooled me once more. The pot cracked from high to backside. And never only a superficial crack – this one runs throughout. Now I’ve to purchase a plastic pot for the hyacinths anyway and change this stunning, aged terra cotta pot that I’ve had for a few years. I gained’t make that mistake once more. However I’ll in all probability make a unique one.

    From the images under, it might not seem that the crack is simply too dangerous. However it’s throughout the pot to the purpose that it might crumble. I rigorously positioned it into a bigger plastic pot till I can change it. Sure, it was a type of black backyard middle pots. That’s irony, isn’t it?
