A question about planters. I see lots of ceramic planters and people talking about how its positive the clay absorbs water and is part of the plant environment. This seems great but then I see plastic planters which clearly do not have the water absorbing ability. Some of the plastic planters do have a reservoir or some water regulation ability. What is the thinking on planters and clay Vs plastic?

For those in the know, why I am asking? Because there are a few choices coming up with the planters. Do I fire the pots to cone 06 and keep the ceramic soft and able to absorb water? Do I fire to cone 10 unglazed on the inside which would not allow for much water to be absorbed? Do I glaze the inside and not allow any water in at all? In all cases, there is a hole in the bottom to allow drainage.
