Pots: What are the best materials (terracotta, plastic) and why?

"Okay, let's talk pots! Who knew choosing a simple container could be your first big existential roof top farming crisis, right?

You have the beautiful, breathable Terracotta (clay). What is it like? It’s the handsome, classic choice! It literally sweats to keep your roots cool, which is a massive, massive advantage against that brutal Jaipur sun. But, oh my god, what's the catch? It's high maintenance! It dries out so fast, you feel like you have to water it hourly.

Then there’s the humble Plastic pot—cheap, cheerful, and super lazy. It’s light (good for your roof's structure!) and holds moisture like a miser, meaning less watering for you. But how come it’s so tricky? In the summer, all plastic pots are basically like ovens—it can trap heat and cook your roots!

So, the final word: the 'best' pot is the one that matches your weekly schedule and your patience! After all there is also a cost angle to it. So choose wisely,
