Mica has a natural ability to stabilize the temperature of the soil in the pots. This promotes healthy root activity during the growing season and protects during the cold periods. The polyethylene bonds raw materials together and makes the pots tough and durable. Therefore the pots seldom break. Graphite gives color and prevents discoloring.
Available colors are dark brown and dark gray as shown in the photographs.
Mica pots have the appearance of high quality unglazed ceramic pots but they are inexpensive. Large pots are very inexpensive when compared to similar size ceramic pots. Each shape is available in different sizes. The light colors shown in some images are no longer available. The pots are still avilable, but only in dark brown or grey.
