Several key points to note when making a DIY plant stand
For those friends who love growing plants, a plant stand should be a very familiar item. As the name suggests, a plant stand is a stand for holding potted plants. What points need attention when making such a stand?
Nowadays, more and more friends like growing all kinds of plants in their own homes, but not everyone has an open-air yard; more people put their plants on the balcony at home. However, many plants are not small in form, and they take up a lot of space when placed. On top of that, if friends grow quite a few of them, the home may run out of room. At times like this, many people choose to solve this problem with a plant stand, because it can make use of vertical space.
However, a decent stand costs quite a bit of money to buy, so many people want to make one themselves. So, when making this kind of stand, what points do we need to pay attention to?
1. The material of the stand
As everyone knows, soil is a very heavy thing, and we use a large amount of soil when growing potted plants. That is to say, a single potted plant is very heavy, not to mention that a stand needs to hold more than one potted plant, so the weight the stand has to bear is easy to imagine. Therefore, when making the stand, friends should take the load-bearing issue into consideration and carefully choose better materials, otherwise it will be very easy for it to break.
2. The dimensions of the stand
As for the size of the stand, it should be decided according to the actual space of your balcony and the number of potted plants. If there are quite a few potted plants and the balcony is also fairly large, then you can make it bigger. And if there are fewer potted plants and the balcony is also a bit small, then you should make it smaller.
3. The size of the spacing
When making the stand, friends must first measure the height of the potted plants. The distance between each level of the stand should be a bit larger than the potted plants, so that it will not affect the growth of the plants.
As for making the stand, these are roughly the few points that need attention.
