Terracotta Pots – Ideal for plants that prefer drier conditions, like succulents and cacti, because they allow moisture to evaporate more quickly.

Ceramic Pots – Retain moisture better than terracotta and are great for houseplants that like evenly moist soil, such as ferns and peace lilies.
Plastic Pots – Lightweight and versatile, plastic pots hold moisture well and work for plants that need consistent watering, like herbs and tropical plants.
Wooden Planters – Best for outdoor use, wooden planters help insulate roots from temperature changes but may degrade over time if not treated.
Self-Watering Pots – Useful for plants that require consistent moisture, such as African violets and some vegetables.
