This fall and winter is my first time growing herbs indoors, under grow lights. I've read several different opinions on what material is best for the pot. I think most writers say that clay terra cotta is better since it can breathe which is important for our Mediterranean herbs, but I also see on the web "Try to avoid terra cotta pots. They absorb moisture and can dry out plants prematurely". And I guess others say either is ok!

I could just go ahead and experiment but would appreciate others' thoughts and experiences. Thanks.
