A friend of Huahua never buys flower pots for growing plants. Whenever you visit her home, flowers are growing in pots, pans, bowls, and basins - and you have to admit, they actually look really good! When I got back, I hurried to swap a pot and give it a try too~

Growing flowers in an iron wok

Don't let old iron woks at home sit idle - even ones missing a handle or a piece can be used for planting. Shallow woks have good airflow, making them suitable for plants with short roots~

Iron woks and iron basins - rather than letting them rust and rot away, using them to grow flowers gives a unique artistic charm...

Guess what this is - an old hot pot from the 1990s! When Huahua was little, there was one at home too, always sitting in a corner gathering dust. Plant succulents in it, and with that shape, just set it anywhere and it's a bonsai~

The color of copper and iron after oxidation looks aged - why buy specially aged flower pots? Don't waste money; using these feels just right!

Growing flowers in teacups and teapots

If you think flower pots on the market are too clunky and prefer delicate, small ones, fellow flower lovers can try growing plants in teapots and cups

Now you might be worried: using porcelain as a flower pot - is it breathable? Do you need to drill holes? So let's talk about drilling holes

If you have an electric drill at home, it's easy - drilling as many holes as you want is no problem

Fellow flower lovers without an electric drill, don't worry - soak the cup in water overnight in advance, then stuff it full with a wet cloth, turn it upside down, use a thicker nail as a drill bit, and hammer a few times and it's done

When filling with soil, you can put a layer of granules at the bottom: pebbles, sand, clay pebbles, etc. all work - this way it's breathable

Besides succulents, you can also plant other flowers and plants with relatively small forms

Growing flowers in miscellaneous items

If you have old objects at home, full of memories but not really useful, and they take up space, you might as well use them to grow flowers

Growing flowers in small items

Many girls are attached to old things - used face cream jars can also be kept and planted with small flowers, and just looking at them lifts your mood~

Large snail shells and conch shells can both be filled with soil to grow flowers, but these pots are hard to place - so just hang them up~

After seeing all this

Don't you feel like everything at home is a treasure?

Hurry and find them out, DIY them into flower pots~
