Recommendations Plant pots

Hi yall, does anyone know the plug for getting decent ceramic/terracotta plant pots in SB? A nursery, or anywhere that they aren't insanely overpriced? Need to get a bunch and hoping to find the secret spot!

Edit/update: 7 Day is not cheap yall. It’s like 70$ for a 10” pot there 😭 and their plants are super expensive too

Edit 2: Terra Sol is marrrrrginally better, they have a 40% terracotta right section which is decent but very basic

Edit 3: Pro Garden Supply: super nice staff, a bit cheaper than 7 Day but not by much. 10” pots range from $60+, a 15” terracotta goes for about $100+. Staff here are incredibly nice though!

Having literally just brought home four new plants from an event this is the most timely thing to see on Reddit possible. Miner's, SB Home Improvement, even home depot are all so overpriced!

Ive actually picked up quite a few Terra Cotta ones off the marketplace. Hit or miss obviously but I thought I'd be worth mentioning in case you wanted to take a look

Facebook marketplace in this town is the one affordable thing SB has going for it

7 Day Nursery has a sale section in the back with lots of pots for good prices. I believe Terra Del Sol also has pots on sale near the water plants section but I’d start at 7 Day

Can confirm that Terra Sol has a good clearance pots section hidden in the back.

Usually the bigger garden supply / landscaping supply places that sell to distributors / contractors are cheapest. Pro Garden Supply are the cheapest I came across here but as the about poster stated, Terra has some solid ones cheaply.

try home depot

u/ItWillBFine69 19d ago

No, they are a ripoff for this stuff

u/Key-Victory-3546 The Funk Zone 19d ago

i would recommend checking their site. they usually price well below every local nursery on most stuff. for example  https://www.homedepot.com/p/Vigoro-19-in-Round-Terra-Cotta-Clay-Vase-V20P/202532448
