  • Pottery Care

    With the proper care, your pottery will last forever... that's a long time! Your Dirty Clay Co. pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe unless advertised otherwise at time of purchase. Make sure your mug handles are not going to get bumped by other dishes. This will help prevent cracks and breaks. If you are unsure about the proper care for your pottery, reach out!

    Email us your questions! 
  • Air Plant Care

    Airplants thrive in humid environments with indirect sunlight. We are most successful misting our air plants 1-3 times per week based on the season. Soaking your plants is another recommended method for watering. Read more from Air Plant Supply Co. for detailed soaking instructions!
