[IBC] Mica Pots
Greetings...
Is it simply because ceramic pots cost much more, therefore they must be better? I think that what we must see here it's that ceramic pots are traditional and mica pots are something very new and useful. Mica pots are done with a machine that makes about 5 each minute and a "machine" that builds a ceramic pot will build one each 2 or 3 minutes! Traditional ones are build by hand and take at least 15min each. So, it's a matter of economy. Other thing, nowadays everything that's plastic (kind of J ) it's supposed to be less expensive, we got used to this. If Mica pots were has expensive has ceramic ones, I think they wouldn't sell at all! Mica pots can overheat the roots in a hot summer? Yes. I am in Portugal (Europe). Mica pots get very hot in the summer. Over here we have 2 colors, black and light grey. Both of them get very hot at direct sun. In the summer the best is to place the tree in a shadowed place, in winter it's an advantage to be in the sun because it keeps the roots less stressed to extreme cold!
