Why clay pots?


I find slower germinating seeds do better in them, perhaps they are warmer
in the winter or maybe they hold moisture better?

You may be right about the warmth bit but if anything clay pots dry out much
faster than plastic.Perhaps it is the latter that avoids water logging and
consequently less
chance of the seeds rotting.
