While terra cotta is durable, it is porous and can absorb water. If you live in a climate with freezing temperatures, it is best to empty the planter and store it in a shed or garage during winter to prevent the material from cracking due to freeze-thaw cycles.

The Pienza is crafted from substantial, high-quality terra cotta, giving it a sturdy weight that prevents it from tipping over easily in windy outdoor conditions. While it is heavy enough to be stable, it can still be moved with some effort when empty.
