Containers
for Cacti
There are many different containers you can plant your cacti
in, the most common being unglazed terra cotta and plastic.
Terra cotta pots are inexpensive, available nearly everywhere,
and allow for surface transpiration and thus, quite a lot of
water is lost via evaporation. Besides the weight of these pots,
because of the evaporation, they can get very cold and chill
the roots if the ambient air temperature isn't quite high. I
have also found them to take up a considerable amount of space
when compared to square plastic pots.
Plastic pots will hold water for longer periods of time, are
lighter, and much more compact. In addition, they are easy to
store and inexpensive.
