Every time I have a gardening question I look through Linda's channel to find she has a video on the subject! You are a godsend for new gardeners. Thank you!!!
Great tips! In zone 7a I've kept un-sealed terra cotta pots (regardless the size) outdoors year round, and have found if they have good drainage, and are not in direct contact with the ground they will last for years (I've had some outside for 20+ years.) I've also had them on the bare ground and not last two years.
@@NorthCarolinian81 I've not had the best of luck with them in contact with the soil, we have a very wet winter with regular temp swings, if concerned just try a couple and see how they fair. I place mine on a ceramic tile, left over from flooring projects with no issues at all.
Your garden is so beautiful. I have some pots lifted using stepstones, bricks and wire racks some are not in zone 8a. I'm going to elevate them. Thank you for good tips.
I am in central MS, zone 8-ish depending on what map I use. We do get lots of cold rain in winter, but little snow. However we had 6-8 inches in 2018! So i try to prepare. I don’t have much cracking of my pots, but i am going to try sealing anyway. I have some that I wondered if the cracks were due to being so hot here. And happy to be reaffirmed that the boxwood topiary will be ok to overwinter outside in their covered area. I am hooked on them thanks to you!
Such lovely shades of green in your garden. Moving pots is an ordeal. Over 25 years I've amassed a collection of green and blue ceramic pots (many are large, 2 ft diameter). My property is hilly and terraced so we have outcropping stone steps and pea gravel walkways that meander. I place groupings of pots around the steps either planted for sun or shade using mixed perennials and annuals. (Early October I plant the perennials in native garden beds). Because of the zone 5 winter we have to move pots into a heated garage. I only wish I could leave them outside! I'd love to share pics with you but can't attach here.
Sooooo helpful!!! You are very articulate!!! This was extremely helpful. Thanks so much!!! On your steps, what is the name of the lime green looking boxwood? I am off to buy more pots! :)
I have some houseplants I keep indoors within terracotta pots. The pots get covered in both mineral deposits, but also MOLD. I would love it if you could make a video on how to clean mold from terracotta pots. No matter how much I've tried it always comes back the next day.
@@sonyatippet8189 Everywhere online wrongly says it's mineral deposits, but mold is also a huge issue. I've seen so many people online dismiss people and say it's not mold when it blatantly is!
I would leave them outside as long as possible. When you bring them inside, make sure you provide lots of humidity, lots of light, and check periodically for pests like spider mites :-)
@@LindaVater Thank you SO much for all of your time and work you put into your UA-cam's. I have learned so much from you. And I am a topiary addict now. I planted some in the ground to make sure they survived but I left a few smaller ones in small pots and I will bring them inside later on. I tried propagating some also like you showed. I loved all of this before, but even more so now with everything going on. 🌞
Great to know!! I am having a hard time finding all kind of shapes and sizes of terra cotta pots.. You get yours online or? Thanks so much for sharing with us! 🤗
@@aletoaleto727 I couldn't find any in the shop what I wanted. So looked for garage sales or estate sales and found many good ones....most of time a quite pricy, sometimes a great deal I got them.

Great info dear!
Do you think I will be fine keeping them outside in zone 8a? I don't think I will be keeping them off the ground, but I will be sealing them.

Thanks for your tips. I did not know I could leave my small terra cotta pots outside if they are nestled. Great idea! 💡
Linda you truly are Linda! Nice voice. Great video. Great Garden.
Thank you George!
I was just gifted a beautiful terra cotta pot. Thank you for this video!

It sounds spectacular 🌿
I'm worried about some of my pots! Thanks for the tips!
Such a great video about pot care! Linda has such wonderful advice! I live in zone 5 and I have had pot damage!
Love this info, I will definitely fallow your advice this winter! Thank you Linda.
Wonderful advice. Thank you Linda.
Please make another video of overwinter your Eugenia and Myrtle topiary 🌳🍂❄️
Good Day Linda! Amazing garden knowledge 🤯 this last week. 🌳🍁🌲🍂Thank you! Now, give me more!🤭 I'm ready🤸 Let's Go!🚣🤗

It’s a touch of gold holly...A new introduction from the southern living plant collection :-)

That would be great! My terracotta pot has mold too. Cant seem to get it to stay permanently clean. The mold always returns within a couple of days.
@@sonyatippet8189 Everywhere online wrongly says it's mineral deposits, but mold is also a huge issue. I've seen so many people online dismiss people and say it's not mold when it blatantly is!
I wipe mine with 50/50 distilled vinegar and water in a Dollar Tree spray bottle and that works for me.
Great advice OMG you are a beautiful lady! Thank you for the information very helpful.
Could we see your greenhouse some time, please?
Thank you for these great tips!! Loved it!!
I was hoping to see a video on this.
Thos pots are so beautiful, where can I buy them?
Will my newly started small boxwood topiaries survive indoors in the winter? I'm in zone 6B.
I would leave them outside as long as possible. When you bring them inside, make sure you provide lots of humidity, lots of light, and check periodically for pests like spider mites :-)

Hi! What do use to seal the terra-cotta pots to avoid mold or leaking?
Thank you!
Great to know!!
I am having a hard time finding all kind of shapes and sizes of terra cotta pots..

I've found some wonderful different looking terracotta pots at thrift stores in the past. It's a hit and miss though.
@@donnahazlett6676 thanks for the tip.
I usually go to the regular places and nothing great. Thanks again

I have plants like ivy and ferns I would love to bring in, only problem is all the bugs I am bringing indoors with the plants. Any ideas?
