Using terracotta pots only for growing flowers is such a waste - try these 8 flower pot gardening ideas

If you are a gardener who really loves DIY, then you can use the following 8 ideas to decorate your balcony or yard, making your home look more elegant and natural. These ideas are all made with terracotta pots, the materials are very cheap, and the things you make are all very practical.

1. Vertical hanging flower pots

This idea is very charming. Use a thin iron rod to thread terracotta pots together. Choose terracotta pots with relatively large drainage holes, and plant a different plant on each level. Petunias (Petunia) are a great choice, paired with some Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), variegated greater periwinkle (Vinca major 'Variegata') and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), etc.,

2. Terracotta pot ideas

Thread terracotta pots of different sizes together to turn them into cute flower pot dolls. Placing them in the yard will give it a particularly artistic feel. These little dolls will make your gardening life more fun, and they are also fairly simple to make.

3. Mushroom ornaments

Terracotta pots can also be used to make mushrooms. Use terracotta pots of different sizes to make a cap-shaped terracotta pot mushroom. The pots need to be painted with color, and white round spots painted on, to make it look a bit special.

4. Terracotta pot bird drinking station

You can transform terracotta pots into a fresh and natural little bird drinking station, hung in the air. The drainage hole of the pot is directly blocked and secured with a hanging rope, and then it can be hung in the air. The pot also needs to be drilled so that the water inside can flow out. The tray on top can be lifted off to add water.

5. Terracotta pot hanging planter

You can prepare 20 terracotta pots of the same size, then thread them together to make a wreath-shaped vegetable tower.

Before making it, you need to prepare more than 20 terracotta pots, some sphagnum moss, wire and succulents. Thread the terracotta pots together, and the containers with the tops facing up can be planted with small plants.

6. Succulent flower tower

Making this succulent flower tower takes a lot of effort, and the later care will be relatively difficult, so beginners are not advised to make this idea.

You also need terracotta pots of different sizes, a thin iron rod, succulent soil and various succulents. After planting, do not water at first. Keep them in a ventilated, shaded place for one or two weeks, then gradually expose them to light.

7. Turn terracotta pots into a fountain

Turning terracotta pots into a small clear water fountain is also a good idea, but you need to prepare an extra small water pump, drill holes in the tray, and if the holes in the terracotta pots are not big enough, you need to drill them yourself.

Plant plants in the top container, and it will look especially natural and fresh, with a feeling of a small stream and water trickling.

8. Painted clay pot figures

These are all made from ordinary terracotta pots, and they all look especially cute. But as long as you have some hands-on ability, you can easily make even better works from terracotta pots yourself.

The tools used include rope, potting soil, plants and terracotta pots. The finished terracotta pot person can be placed in a spot with more light, because the flower pots on top can all be used to grow flowers, which is especially fun.
