Instead Of Tossing Broken Plant Pots,
Try These Creative Ideas
By MASIE O'TOOLE
Fairy Garden
Use a broken plant pot as a base to create a whimsical fairy garden by adding a tiny house, a doorway, plants, and broken off pieces to make platforms and tiny steps.
Mosaic
If the plant pot is too broken to be made into something else, break it into smaller pieces and use them to create a mosaic as an art piece or to decorate another plant pot.
Succulents
A broken plant pot might not be deep enough to hold certain plants anymore, but if you turn it at an angle, you can use it for plants with shallow roots like succulents.
Markers
Plant markers are necessary in a large garden to more easily identify what’s growing. Simply write the plant names on pieces of your broken pot, and stick them in the soil.
Planter
To create a unique stepped planter, fill the main part of your broken planter with soil, then bury the shattered pieces at different levels to create layers for planting.
