Cement planters can be made at home too, exquisite and full of artistic flair

Flowers and plants look even better when paired with a beautiful planter. Cement planters need no deliberate carving; they keep their raw, primal feel and have a strong artistic quality. Let's take a look below!

How to make cement planters:

Cement gives a plain, unadorned sense of solidity, naturally calm and steady, yet not lacking in beauty.

An innate weightiness and elegance, a taste that cannot be imitated or rivaled.

Simple, comfortable and with a natural sense of belonging, simple yet creative; paired with green plants, they become exquisite works of art.

Healthy and eco-friendly, sturdy and beautiful, with natural textures that achieve a raw, primal feel.

How to make cement planters:

(1). Prepare the molds: choose molds of a suitable size, generally using cardboard, then shape them into the form of a planter. You need to prepare two molds of different sizes.

(2). Spray the molds with lubricant: spray lubricant onto the molds; this is done so the finished planter can be removed more easily.

(3). Prepare the cement: prepare the cement and mix the concrete well; it is best to use a bit of crack-resistant concrete so it will be sturdier.

(4). Pour in the cement: add clean water and river sand to the mixed cement and stir properly, then pour it into the mold. Let it sit until the shape has roughly set; when it is hard enough to hold its shape but not yet completely dry, you can poke a hole in the bottom as a drainage hole and draw the patterns you like, which will give a better decorative effect.

(5). Dry the planter: let the planter dry for about 1 day to make sure it is quite hard. Once completely dry, remove the mold and let the planter dry thoroughly. After 1 week, wipe it with a damp cloth, then wait 2 days and wipe it once more, and it is ready to use.
