People with exotic plant species are rarely surprised. But you can create a unique garden with the help of exclusive planters. Specialty stores offer a large variety of original planters, but our own pots add a special charm to interior decor.
Types of planters Before buying or making an OEM plant pot, you should decide on the size and material of the planter. These indicators should correspond to the type of flower cultivation. In most cases, the following types of original planters are used to decorate the interior.
Plastic, ceramic products, clay, wooden ones, glass, metallic colors, stones.
The main advantage of plastic flower pots is their lightness and strength. In such pots, moisture and heat are well retained. To prevent water stagnation in such containers, drainage holes are necessary. Use plastic pots when planting moisture-loving plants. Ceramic pots are suitable for growing a wide range of indoor plants. They allow air to pass through well and prevent flooding from earth coma. It is recommended to use unglazed pots, as aeration becomes poor in such containers. Epiphytic flower crops cannot be grown in them. Clay planters are suitable for growing all flowers, except for representatives of waterless plants. These containers are made of natural materials, which allow a good passage of air. In addition, in such pots, natural temperature regulation occurs.
Wooden posts are suitable not only for growing flowers indoors but also for growing outdoors. In order for the pots to be used for a long time and the wood does not deteriorate, they should be regularly preserved and painted.
The advantages are a natural material and good ventilation. Not suitable for growing crops that require high humidity. Glass pots are only recommended for growing orchids. It is a material with increased fragility and risk of injury. Therefore, it is especially not recommended to use such pots in a house with children.
Metal pots are more suitable for use as flower pots. Under the constant influence of water and fertilizing chemicals, the metal surface is gradually destroyed. The resulting compounds can cause plant death.
It is recommended to use a vase made of stone for growing flowers with larger above-ground parts. It is a durable but heavy material, which is why these planters are rarely used in apartments. They look best in spacious rooms with large windows and terraces. Concrete planters are more suitable for growing flowers outdoors. But in such pots the risk of hypothermia of the root system is high. To prevent this from happening, you should choose containers with holes in the bottom. Any type of pot can have a specific decoration, lighting, or automatic watering system. Therefore, it will not be difficult to choose the most convenient and beneficial version of the original pot for any interior decoration.
How to make your own original flower pots
The most laborious is making planters from cement mortar and clay. These processes require not only special knowledge but also special equipment. To make the making of flower pots easy and interesting, many people make them in an improvised way.
Can you make a pot yourself? Yes, from everything in the house. All you need is a little fantasy and a simple household item, an unnecessary accessory, or an old plate that can be turned into a unique interior decoration.
The easiest way to make your own original flower pot comes from.
Plaster, wooden strips, boards, coconut shells, ceramic mugs, old shoes, muffin baking cups, empty candy boxes, garden spouts and strainers, cantilevered chandeliers, seashells, and pebbles.
To make a plaster pot, you will need to prepare plaster, water, and two plastic containers. A large one must be coated with vegetable oil from the inside and a small one – from the outside.
Fold the containers one on one and pour the plaster mixed with water into the formed tube cavity. The larger the difference in the volume of the containers, the thicker the walls of the pots will be. It takes some time to make a pot from a piece of wood. A core needs to be selected with a special tool for woodworking. The stump is then sanded and painted for the wooden surface.
Plank pots are used for growing indoor plants. In open areas, they deteriorate quickly. They can also decorate balconies and loggias. To make such planters, you need to remove a wooden crate from the slats and treat it with a preservative.
There is no need to sand and varnish these pots. In this design, the planter looks more vintage. An original hanging planter can be made of coconut. For this purpose, the shell is divided into two parts. With the help of a drill, drainage holes are drilled in the bottom and fastening holes are drilled in the sides.
Ceramic cups can be used for growing indoor flowers. Just make sure to drill holes in them to drain excess water. For this, you will need a drill and a thin drill bit.
Planters made from old boots and shoes are more commonly used to decorate pergolas and open flower beds. You can plant flowers directly in them, or use shoes as planters.
You can create a blooming meadow by planting miniature indoor flower varieties in cupcake tins. In addition, this planter is suitable for creating a green lawn with moss and grass crops. Empty candy boxes can be used to create flower arrangements from plants with shallow root systems.
Bright garden watering cans and strainer pots with lush flowers will become the exclusive decoration of any garden. In such containers, it is important to monitor soil moisture, as multiple drainage holes can cause the soil to dry out quickly.
One of the most creative solutions is planters made from hanging carob vases. When creating such a product, the main thing is to reliably attach the prepared garden container to the shaded position. To do this, make a hole in the bottom and screw the planter to the base. While watching the video, you will learn about do-it-yourself planters.
The decoration of the planter also gives it special originality. For this purpose, the techniques of paper-cutting, mosaics, and painting by the author are used. Particularly popular are bright knitted covers and planters wrapped with twine and ribbons.
Original flower pots can not only emphasize the style and interior decoration of the room but also become its emblem. Making them yourself will become exciting entertainment for the whole family.
