Choosing pots that drain

Terracotta breathes and dries fast. It suits succulents and herbs and anyone who tends to overwater.
Glazed ceramic and plastic hold moisture longer, which suits ferns and thirsty plants. Outdoors, check that pots are frost-proof before winter.
Whatever the material, the hole matters most. If a pot has none, use it as a cover pot with a plastic pot inside.
