The generous size and elegant shape make them ideal for showcasing statement plants such as ancient olive trees, fragrant lavender, or sculptural agaves.

Whether placed on a sunlit patio, nestled within a Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, or positioned as a focal point in your garden, this pot effortlessly enhances any setting. Pair it with rustic stone, warm terracotta tiles, or soft gravel for an authentic Mediterranean aesthetic. If using indoors, position it near a window with plenty of natural light to complement its organic beauty.

Caring for Your Cretan Pot
Drainage & Planting: Our Cretan pots come with a drainage hole to ensure proper water flow. To protect roots and extend the life of your pot, place a layer of gravel or crocks at the base before planting.
Weather Resistance: Though durable, terracotta is naturally porous. In harsh winter conditions, we recommend raising the pot slightly on feet to allow airflow and prevent waterlogging, which can lead to cracking in freezing temperatures.
Natural Aging: Over time, your pot will continue to develop a unique patina, deepening its character. If preferred, you can gently clean the surface with warm water and a soft brush to remove excess moss or algae.
Perfectly suited to classic or contemporary gardens, our Cretan pot is more than just a planter a statement of heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless style. Add one to your garden today and bring a piece of Cretes rich history into
