Ways to create

Burlap cache-pot

From burlap or any other dense fabric, you can create a cache-pot in the form of pockets for small plants. To do this, cut two identical square or semicircular parts and sew them on three sides, you can also give the product a shape using wire. Such flowerpots look great on the hedges of a country house or balcony.

 

As a hanging planter, you can use large sinks

Coconut Shell You can also make an original flowerpot or hanging pots, for this, make several holes, drain the juice and remove the pulp. If you cut the coconut in half, you get two products at once

 

Products can be made of wire or forged metal.

 

 There are many different variations.

 

 

From wire

 

Suspended Plant Care

• Outboard flowerpots without a pallet can prevent moisture stagnation in the soil, because the root system does not rot, however, in this case there may be a lack of moisture, especially if the plant is in a sunny area. If there is a pallet, do not get involved in watering and set the plant in the shade. 
• The soil in hanging flowerpots and pots should be periodically fertilized, because the minerals present in it are gradually washed out.
• For hanging landing tanks heavy and clay soil substrates are not suitable, prone to rapid compaction since they can lead to insufficient breathability, which also makes it difficult to pass moisture. To avoid this, add expanded clay or vermiculite to the soil.
• With vertical gardening, the soil dries much faster, so plants need to be watered much more often, while You must remember to remove the accumulated water in the pan. For irrigation, well-maintained or boiled water is best.

 

Sphagnum and wicker basket pots

Necessary materials:

1. wicker wire basket;
2. sphagnum (peat moss);
3. piece of polyethylene.

Stages of work:

• Soak the sphagnum fibers in water (since it is used in construction and gardening, you can buy it in a store), squeeze it slightly and lay it on the bottom of the basket.
• Put polyethylene on top, after making several holes in it, it will help retain moisture.
• Fill the rest of the space with soil, after which you can safely plant flowers.

Wicker flower pots

You will need:

1. 10 long pieces of rope;
2. a few buttons;
3. metal ring.

In this case, the flower pot will be braided as a macrame.

Manufacturing process

Step one

1. Foldcut the rope in half and connect them with a simple loop.

Second step

2. Select two loops located next to each other and fasten their adjacent ends with a button (it is better to place the buttons at a distance of 5-7 cm), when you fasten it, lay the threads crosswise and begin to weave the next row, keeping the same distance.

Step three

3. Such rows can be made as many as you like, if you decide to complete the work, take the free ends and tie them together.

 

See what other weaving scheme you can apply:

 

 Advantages of hanging flowerpots and planters:

• hanging products are easy to move as you wish;
• whole landscape groups or stationary flower arrangements can be formed;
• time saving and rational use of a small landing area;
• suitable option for growing ampelous plants;
• maximum regulation of indicators of light, humidity and temperature.

 

 

Leather cache-pot

Required Materials:

1. pure water;
2. tracing paper, as well as 4 pieces of strong rope (or leather laces);
3. skin paint (optional);
4. a piece of skin;
5. stationery cutting knife and pencil.

Progress

• Prepare a template on a sheet of tracing paper, then attach it to a piece of leather to select a location for future markings.
• Soften the skin with a sponge moistened in water so that it is well saturated with moisture, this will help simplify further work.
• Lay out the template on the previously selected area, for greater convenience, you can fix it with tape, now circle the lines marked on the tracing paper, so your picture will print on the surface of the skin.
• Cut the skin according to the pattern.
• When the skin dries, you can dye it in any color you choose (you need to apply paint with a sponge), but this is not necessary. After staining, give the product a three-dimensional shape as it dries, gradually pulling out the cut elements.
• From above, make four holes at the same distance from each other and pass through them four ropes or leather cords, tie a knot at the end of each of them.
• Now you can decorate the resulting product with any materials at hand (rivets, tassels, buttons or beads).

 Hanging structure for flowerpots made of wood,Master Class

Such a stand allows you to solve the problem with the placement of flowers, and most importantly - you can make any number of tiers depending on your preferences.

You will need:

1. wooden boards;
2. rope and metal ring;
3. saw, drill and sandpaper;
4. paint (optional).

Process of creation

• Cut the required number of square supports from the boards to determine their desired size, take one of those flowerpots that you want to place, turn it upside down and make a mark on the outline. If the volume of the flowerpot gradually increases upward, in the center of the already marked circle draw another one with a smaller diameter and cut a hole already along it. 
• In the corners of the sawed stands with a drill, make holes for the rope, then walk along the surface with sandpaper, after the stand you can paint or varnish. The flowerpots themselves can also be painted at your discretion.
• To connect the stands, take four strong ropes and pull one into each corner hole, tie a knot at the end.
• Now, as you add the following tiers, tie knots under each of them, measuring out the distance you need between them, it is very important that all tiers are strictly parallel to each other. The advantage of such a stand is that excess water during irrigation will fall into a flowerpot located belowYou only need the pallet for the very last. If desired, water-absorbing material can be placed on the bottom of each flowerpot.
• The pallet of the last flowerpot is preferably glued to the surface of the stand, in order to exclude the possibility of its fall.
• Hang the finished structure, stretching all the ropes through a metal ring, and tie a strong knot.

 Types of suspended structures

• hinged structures with mounts in the form of a tripod;
• models with metal chains rigidly fixed to the edge of the product;
• decorative landing tanks equipped with twine pendant or strong rope;
• designs with a special suspension located exactly in the middle

 

Pots made of copper

For this planter The following will be required:

1. two meters of copper tube of small diameter;
2. small pipe cutter; durable thread or fishing line;
3. leather lace or rope;
4. flower pot.

Progress

• Tie a knot at one end of the fishing line, thread it through 5 small segments of the tube, you should make a pentagon, then thread the fishing line through 4 more segments of the same size, and then through the tube of the previously obtained pentagon, as shown in the photo below.
• In this way, create two more pentagons, all in all, 4 pieces should be obtained.
• Also make a second row
• After completing the second row, the design will resemble a bowl, now alternately on five sides put on long lines of pipes on the fishing line, after putting the flower pot inside.
• Connect all the tubes together.
• Take a piece of leather lace or rope and attach it to the connection point of long tubes, then you can tie a knot or use glue, thus securing the end of the cord. To mask the place of gluing, take another small part of the cord, fasten and wrap around.
• Cut off excess fishing line and cord and hang the finished product.

• Continue laying out the segments, fastening the rows together, until the product reaches the desired height (it will depend on the size of the pot you have chosen);
