Bergs Potter Modena Pot

While the Modena is designed primarily for outdoor environments, you can use it indoors if you place it on a saucer. Because it is made of raw, porous terracotta, moisture can seep through the walls and base, so a protective tray is essential to prevent damage to your floors or furniture.

Raw terracotta is a natural, breathable material that will develop a beautiful, unique patina over time as it is exposed to the elements. You don't need to treat it, but you may want to gently brush off any mineral buildup or moss if you prefer a cleaner look.

Yes, the Modena is weather-resistant and durable enough for outdoor use. However, if you live in an area with severe freeze-thaw cycles, it is best to elevate the pot slightly off the ground to ensure proper drainage and prevent it from cracking due to trapped water expansion.

The integrated drainage hole is sized to allow for consistent water flow, which is crucial for the health of larger plants. To prevent soil from washing out, we recommend placing a small piece of mesh or a few shards of broken pottery over the hole before adding your soil.

Given its substantial size and the density of high-quality terracotta, the Modena has a sturdy, grounded weight. It is heavy enough to remain stable on a patio or balcony during windy conditions, but it is still manageable for one person to reposition when empty.
