Nothing creates a warm feeling in a home better than well-placed house plants.
Strategically located in various sunny windows or on attractive hangers, plants can help to clear your home of airborne toxins or provide herbs and spices for cooking. But first, putting them into the right pots is key. They are porous enough to breathe, and yet they are heavy enough to hold large plants and keep them sturdy. Clay pots have a tendency to dry out quickly, though, so you must keep your eye on the amount of moisture the plant needs. To transplant a plant to a clay pot, first put a layer of pebbles or pieces of broken clay pottery into the bottom of the container.
