What kind of paint do I use to paint clay flower pot that doesn't kill flowe?

I have to ask. Is this to decotare a terra cotta pot? Is the intent to paint the outside of the pot? Certainly painting the inside of a pot with Acrylics or Latex wouldn't harm flowers, but also won't last very long. In fact to paint the outside of a pot with latex, isn't going to be very satisfactory either, given that terra cotta pots are designed to be absorbent, even remaining moist when a plant is watered.





If this is to decorate the outside of a pot, I'd probably go with a cheap set of Artist oil paints. Actually even coating the inside of a pot with an oil based paint won't harm flowers once the paint sets, but still any coating inside will directly contact soil and water.

You can use acrylic paint. That won't harm it.
