Clay plant pots are unglazed fired clay, and are porous. In hot weather the roots of the plant will quickly become very dry. To avoid this, wet cloth is wrapped round the pot. When the pots are watered, once the heat of the day has cooled in the evening, the plants are watered and the wrapping round the pots are soaked too.

Why are earthen pots wrapped with a wet cloth during summers?

To prevent cracking of the pots from too rapid dehydration. In a hot environment clay pots will lose surface moisture at a higher rate than the interior of the pots walls will. Clay shrinks as it dries, if the outside dries faster than the interior of the clay walls you will have cracks form. To reduce the likelihood of this occuring, pottery is often kept either wrapped in plastic or covered with a wet cloth to retard rapid dehydration. Basically, you want to keep the moisture throughout the walls of a pot at a somewhat uniform level, the wet cloth assists this.
