How to Repot your plant in a handmade Ceramic Planter from Two Ships Pottery

Repotting a plant can be an exciting task, especially when you have a stunning ceramic planter from Two Ships Pottery to showcase your greenery. Located in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, Two Ships Pottery is a queer-owned business known for its contemporary, handmade designs. Our energetic and unique planters are perfect for adding a touch of artistry to your home or office. Many of our planters even come with integrated drainage trays for easy plant care. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you repot your plant into one of our beautiful creations.

Step 1: Choose the Right Planter

When selecting a ceramic planter, consider the size and type of your plant. Two Ships Pottery offers a range of sizes and designs to suit various plants. Our planters, made from high-quality clay, not only look fantastic but also provide a healthy environment for your plants to thrive. Ensure your chosen planter has a drainage hole or an integrated drainage tray to prevent waterlogging.

Step 2: Prepare Your Plant

Before repotting, water your plant thoroughly a day or two in advance. This helps to reduce stress on the plant and makes it easier to remove from its current pot. Gently loosen the roots to remove any excess soil and untangle any that are circling the root ball.

Step 3: Add Soil

Fill the bottom of your Two Ships Pottery planter with a layer of fresh potting soil. This should be enough to elevate the root ball so that the plant sits at the same level as it did in its previous pot. Our integrated drainage trays ensure any excess water is effectively managed, providing your plant with the perfect balance of moisture.

Step 4: Position Your Plant

Place the plant in the center of the new planter and fill in around the sides with more potting soil. Gently press the soil down to eliminate air pockets, but avoid compacting it too much as roots need space to grow. Ensure the plant is upright and stable.

Step 5: Water and Settle

Water the plant thoroughly after repotting. This helps to settle the soil and ensures the roots are well-hydrated. With our planters’ integrated drainage trays, you don’t have to worry about overwatering, making plant care even more convenient.

Step 6: Care and Enjoy

Place your newly potted plant in a suitable location with the right amount of light for its species. Enjoy the beauty and energy that a Two Ships Pottery planter brings to your space. Our handmade, contemporary designs add a unique touch to any decor.

Repotting a plant into one of our ceramic planters not only gives your plant a new home but also enhances your living space with a piece of art from a local, queer-owned business. At Two Ships Pottery, we take pride in crafting each piece with love and creativity, ensuring you have a planter that’s both functional and fabulous.

As always, remember: Don't give two sh*ts. Give Two Ships!
