terra cotta pots
The only thing I notice about them is that they don't seem to last very
long. I've never had one in the pond but I have in my yard and they seem to disintegrate. You may want to consider a pot that is glazed.

terra cotta pots
Melissa,
If you use the higher fired smoother looking terra cotta pots you shouldn't have a problem, but it if you get the terra cotta pots that have a rougher exterior (most of the these come from Mexico or South America) besides not holding up underwater and flaking rapidly they many times also have higher quantities of heavy metals in them, such as lead.
