Thats awesome, and accelerated. My new terracotta pots that I planted hyacinths in 9 weeks ago have already aged naturally as my garden is North aspect with minimal sun.Great job !
this might be a silly question, but what kind of yoghurt should one use? i'm planning to try this technique on a terracotta base of a lamp. thanks so much!
Hi Manu, not silly at all - I had no idea when I first started. I've always used just any old cheap yoghurt - it really doesn't have to be special. Good luck with your lamp base 👍🏼
I have aged terracotta pots (some are 30 years old_) but they do look very different from those with yogurt But those are nice Does it last or will it wash away in the rain ?
Hi Lisa, yes, I agree, it's not a perfect replica but they do look good and it hasn't washed off in the rain. I think by the time the coating washes off, in years to come, hopefully the pot underneath will have aged considerably and be less 'bright orange'! 😁💚

Thanks so much Naffy - you're lucky to be able to age your tubers without the help of yoghurt!
Hi, I really like this look for terracotta pots. I was wondering if effect decreases after seasonal rains?
Hi Jason, yes, I've found that the dark areas fade over time, leaving a soft chalky patina. 😊
What an awesome idea!!! Thank you for sharing😀😀😀
You are so welcome! I really enjoyed doing this - have a go!
Brilliant. Thanks!
You're welcome Cheryl!
Very nice vedio dear friend 🥰
Thank you so much 🙂
Very nice thanks! Thanks!
Glad you liked it. Thank you Grace 😁
do you know if this can be used on plastic and other materials?
I've not tried it on anything else - it's certainly worth giving it a go. 😊
how fabulous, thankyou
Thank you Debra, Glad you enjoyed it 😁💚

You should use peach yogurt

I have two huge pots framing my door and they have green moss growing on them. I may be more attached to the moss than the shrubs in the pot! 🤣
Hi Elizabeth, I can just imagine how beautiful those must be - you are very lucky! 😁
Looks like the pots got moldy on the outside. Careful not to breathe that in.
Hi there, it's just algae, not cold. the white bits are salts from the terracotta. Thanks for watching.
