In our daily life, there are a lot of "waste" that can be transformed into beautiful and special flowerpot which doesn't cost any money. Let's take a look at what can transform into flowerpot.
1. Brick
Chiseling a pit out of an inconspicuous brick and carving patterns on the outside then you will have a very creative flowerpot. The flowerpot made of bricks has very good air permeability and certain humidity regulation function. It can be used to raise some plants with weak roots, such as succulent plants. Generally, the hardness of red bricks is relatively large, so it takes a lot of effort to chisel, while the grey bricks are relatively easy to chisel, and the color is antique, which is very eye-catching. It should be noted that after chiseling, drainage holes must be made at the bottom of the pit.
2. Crock
Crocks are naturally good materials for making flowerpots. You only need to make a drain hole at the bottom. Now many beautiful flowerpots are made by imitating the shape of crocks. They are very antique and beautiful.
3. Rotten wood
People who like to climb mountains should often see some broken trunks, dead tree roots and other rotten wood in the forest on the mountain. This is a good material for flowerpots. You can take some home and use a hole opener to enlarge it along the natural potholes. Soak it in Insecticide for a few days to kill the insect eggs and bacteria that may exist in the dead trees. After drying, fill the potholes with granular soil and plant various succulent plants, after maintenance for a period of time, the succulent plants sprout, just like old trees with new flowers.
4. Basket
It's easier to make a flowerpot from a waste basket. Baskets are usually made of bamboo or rattan. They have very good air permeability. There is no need to drill holes at the bottom. They can be directly paved with non-woven fabric and then put on the pot soil, which is planted with succulent plants or other flowers and plants.
