We have two options for this product - the first option is a 9 pot wall mounted 2in potholder that comes with 9 cute little terracotta clay pots. The second option is a 9 pot wall mounted pot holder that does NOT come with clay pots, but is compatible with 4 inch pots or buckets that you provide yourself. Both of these options include mounting hardware for convenience. Since the second option does not come with pots, we recommend if you do get clay pots to fill them with a lightweight perlite or vermiculite mix, or you can also choose to use plastic pots, which are much more lightweight than terracotta pots. Clay pots are great for planting because they absorb water and allow excess moisture to be released from the soil more quickly.
