Yes! I have painted some planters for outside use as well – just make sure the Rust-Oleum spray paint you use is recommended for outdoor use (they aren’t all) and that the surface is clean and dry. An extra shot of primer alone wouldn’t hurt because it will see more wear/weather but not necessary.

Thank you! I did paint inside also, just so that no matter how high the soil was I wouldn’t catch a glimpse of terracotta. Four years later they still look brand new!

Thanks!

I am sure terracotta is good for plants that don't like much water like succulents, but I am not a fan. Lol, thanks for the good thrifting juju.

I saw a gal on IG raving about it but was dubious. Seemed too good to be true, haha. If your hair stylist uses it, that's a good sign. I might just have to try it! Thanks for the tip 🙂

I'm so happy to hear your Christmas cactus could be saved!! If it could be salvaged you give me hope! To make up for painting the terracotta, I'm trying not to over water. The jade seems happy. It had yellow leaves before the move, but now it seems strong again. So far, no blistering and it's been a couple weeks. I check every day, I'm really hoping they stay nice because I love the glossy white. We shall see…

But I got my hair done today and my girl had sweet bits of pink in her hair and I commented on how much I liked it, and then she told me it was a conditioner! I thought you might like it, too. It's called Overtone and they have a teal. 🙂

Amazingly, I replanted the root ball, and it came back to life!! That jade plant is a beauty, and I hope it grows well for you!!The breathability of terra cotta does allow plants to dry out faster, but that is a good thing with plants that don't like to be wet…or are prone to fungal disease and rotting. I use terra cotta for my geraniums, and also my jade plants, as they both prefer the more arid soil. I question too whether the paint will blister, but if it works you've found a wonderful solution!

Thanks!! I'm a fan of the gloss finish. I like the look, but it's also easy to clean!
