When the flowers compete with the plant pot, every gardener's heart beats faster. Sometimes colorful, sometimes detailed, sometimes unusual - these ideas with which you can transform your plant pots into unique pieces bring color and a good mood to the garden. Your children will definitely want to lend a hand too.
How can I customize plant pots?
To design planters creatively, you can use methods such as mosaic work, painted faces or special planting. Converting them into a small fountain or seasonal decorations are also attractive ways to transform plant pots into unique pieces.
Ideas
Mosaic
Let's start with a simple but very worthwhile method for designing your planters:
- mix cement
- or use glue for outdoor crafts (€8.00 on Amazon)
- Dip small mosaic stones into the mixture and create beautiful patterns on the bucket.
- Let your artwork dry overnight.
Faces
Make a face for your planter in the same way. Whether animals, gnomes or other fantasy characters - surprise your guests with unusual roommates. If you put upright plants in the pot, it will appear as if your clay pot figure even has hair.
Plants
Of course, it's not just the design of the bucket itself that attracts attention. The choice of plants also makes the plant pot an eye-catcher. It is best to use combinations of colorful flowering plants that open their flowers at the same time as possible. Overhanging growth also looks beautiful.
Plant pot as a fountain
But it can also be done without any plants, as this example proves:
- Put different sized planters together in a group.
- Drill a hole at the bottom edge of each.
- Use a pipe to create a connection to the next smaller bucket.
- Install a pump. which brings the water that has flowed down back up again.
Tip
It is best to design the surrounding ground as a gravel bed.
