Steps:

1. Prepare a PVC pipe and drill holes

Go to the hardware market and buy a PVC pipe about 110cm long with a diameter of about 7cm for later use.

2. Drill holes

On the PVC pipe, drill holes at intervals of 20cm. If you want to make it 2-sided, drill 2 holes; if you want to make it 4-sided, drill 4 holes. The one to be made today has 4 holes drilled, with the front and back 2 holes and the left and right 2 holes not on the same horizontal plane.

3. Bend the wire

Bend the wire prepared in advance into wire rings. The diameter of the bends depends on the size of your own flower pots. Do not use wire that is too thin, otherwise it will deform easily.

4. Insert the wire rings into the PVC pipe

Insert the bent wire rings into the PVC pipe one by one. The protruding parts should pass out through the holes and then be bent downward, then use something like wire to tie them tightly to prevent the wire rings from wobbling.

5. Fix the PVC pipe

Seal the bottom of the PVC pipe, first pour in about 1/4 sand, insert it into the flower pot, then fill with soil and let the soil dry out, so it will be more secure.

If you have a discarded clothes rack base at home, you can also fix the PVC pipe onto the base of a triangular clothes rack. This can also strengthen the fixing and prevent the pipe from tilting after flower pots are placed on it.

6. Fix the PVC pipe

In this way, a vertical flower rack is done! Place the flower pots you want to put on it one by one, and it is complete! However, every few days you need to rotate it to prevent the flowers from receiving uneven light.

Steps:

1. Prepare a PVC pipe

If some plant lovers do not have wire at home, they can also make it directly with a PVC pipe. First prepare a PVC pipe at least 1m long.

2. Mark lines and saw open

On the PVC pipe, mark lines at intervals of 10cm, then use a saw to saw open the marked parts.

3. Heat over fire and press

After sawing open, heat it slightly over a fire, then take another pipe and press downward along the sawn openings, so that the sawn openings form grooves.

4. Seal the bottom

Completely seal the bottom of the PVC pipe, and a vertical flower rack is done!

5. Fill with soil and plant vegetables or flowers

Finally, fill the pipe with soil, plant small flower or vegetable seedlings, and it is complete!
