Bloem Dura Cotta Planter (DC8-46), Terra Cotta, 8"

I’m writing my first ever Amazon review because this is such a scam and waste of money that I feel the need to warn others. By definition, Terra Cotta is clay. When you purchase a terra cotta item, you are purchasing a clay item. NOT THE CASE HERE. This item is cheap plastic that’s not worth more than $5 and is egregiously misleading to consumers. They seem to be interpreting Terra cotta as a color, which it isn’t. Mislabeling an item like this is against the laws so if others have experienced the same please contact me so we can take legal action.... if they were reasonable in admitting they misled you, I wouldn’t be so upset but when i asked to return the item they forced me to cover the cost of shipping it back — which is going to be almost the same cost of this item since it’s so large. DO NOT PURCHASE. Total scam. I plan to report them to the Better Business Bureau unless I’m fully reimbursed and not charged for shipping.

Decently made, will do the job. Arrived on time and in good condition. My only complaint- when I bought this the 16” pots were $20. I decided that I needed one more and when I went to purchase the price had risen by $15!! to $34.99. That’s quite the hike in a matter of a week! I would not say these pots are worth that price and will be looking elsewhere.

This review is for item Bloem DC16-46 Dura Planter, 16", Terra Cotta, pictured with item Bloem SDC16-46 Dura Cotta Plant Saucer, 16-Inch, Terra Cotta. (the item doesn't come with wheels, that's separate).The title says "terra cotta" which I think should be the same as "terracotta" (no space) which is pretty heavy clay for a 16" pot; so it was a big surprise when it arrived and the delivery guy was handling it with one hand. Turns out it's plastic with a terracotta colour. The description on the Amazon page does say it's plastic ("100% UV stabilized polypropylene plastic ..." but who reads all the description :-)) but I think it's misleading to call it terracotta.Other than that, it's a serviceable plastic planter pot. It fits nicely with the 16" saucer, also plastic with terracotta color. There are holes in the bottom (about 1/2 to 3/4", I didn't measure them). So you do get drainage, but not the porous property of true terracotta clay pots, if that's important for you. On the other hand, plastic might be more suitable for a pot that's kept inside a living area.The pictures show it with a young lemon tree plant.

I grow "potted" tomatoes and wanted new planters for my patio. These pots are perfect - as are the saucer http://smile.amazon.com/Bloem-SDC14-46-Cotta-Saucer-14-Inch/dp/B00GAPSZ2O/ref=sr_1_20?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1463155508&sr=1-20&keywords=bloem+saucer and caddy http://smile.amazon.com/Plant-Stand-14430-Under-14-Inch/dp/B004FWHPKC?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.This is a very nice addition to my patio - especially since the planter, saucer and caddy match perfectly.

Large spacious firm plain plastic pot (see pictures for all measurements). It did not come with the plate shown as advertised! Unlike the Bloom pots I ordered 2 years ago, this pot seems like it's a product a unhappy customer returned. It was not as well packaged as the other pots I ordered. This is not what I was expecting or as advertised see my pictures compared to advert. If it came with the matching plate shown, I would be able to use it. As I received it, I can not use it.

I used these for potato pots.Or, a pot inside a pot.The inside pot has cut windows, I used 3. The outer pot is left alone. .I can spot harvest, year-round, w/out harming the other plants.These are a sturdy resin pot. They have held their shape in spite of being modified.The sun, heat and cold has NOT deteriorated them. No cracking, fraying, crumbling.

These are my favorite pots of all time! The color is great, they are light and very durable, and they look sleek and minimal. LOVE them.

I had an Amazon gift card. I needed a big plastic pot to replant a plant I've had since 2002. So...there you go. It's nothing to write home about. I could have easily sourced this locally, but I'm lazy. Kitty not included!
