flowerpots

Terracotta plant holders

Flowerpots are containers for growing plants, typically made of clay, plastic, or ceramic with a drainage hole at the bottom.

The term usually implies a modest-sized vessel for a single plant, distinguishing it from larger planters or garden beds: She lined the windowsill with flowerpots of herbs.
