Okay, so let me tell you about this little project I did. It’s called a “flowerpot tree,” and it turned out pretty neat.
First, I gathered all my stuff. I needed some flower pots, of course. I grabbed a bunch of small ones because that’s what I had, but you can totally use bigger ones if you want. I also got a big, sturdy pot for the base. This is important because it’s gotta hold everything up, you know?
Then, I needed something to stack the pots on. I found this old metal rod in my garage, but a thick wooden dowel or even some strong PVC pipe would probably work just fine. Just make sure it’s long enough for however tall you want your tree to be.
Next, I started assembling. I put the big pot down first and stuck the rod right in the middle of it. I filled the pot with dirt to keep the rod steady. Make sure you really pack it in there so the rod doesn’t wobble.
- First, slide a pot onto the rod.
- Then, tilt it to one side.
- Next, slide another pot on and tilt it to the other side.
- Keep doing this, making the pots go back and forth, until you get to the top of the rod.
Once I had all the pots on the rod, I started planting. I picked some colorful flowers that I thought would look good together. I filled each pot with a little bit of soil and carefully put the flowers in.
The Final Touch
I watered the whole thing really well and placed it out on my patio. And bam! My flowerpot tree was done! It actually looked way cooler than I thought it would. The way the pots are stacked makes it look like a little tree, and the flowers add a nice pop of color.
Honestly, this was a super easy project, and it didn’t cost me much at all since I used stuff I already had around the house. It’s a cool way to add some greenery to your space without spending a ton of money or needing a lot of room. This is a really affordable project for us gardeners! I’m definitely gonna make another one of these soon.
