Hi, I'm a beginner at plant caretaking. I recently picked out a couple of small plants at a nursery, but they didn't have any pottery to go with them unfortunately.

So, I'd like to know where do you generally like to go to get what you need? Are there any good online resources I should be aware of? I'd prefer to shop locally of course, but the resources available to me here are limited and difficult to get to.

My houseplants are almost all succulents and I really like terracotta/clay pots, the really standard kind they have at most hardware stores:

The terracotta will let the excess water evaporate if I've over watered.
