Steps:
1. Prepare a PVC pipe and drill holes
Go to the hardware market and buy a PVC pipe about 110cm long and about 7cm in diameter.
2. Drill holes
Drill holes in the PVC pipe at intervals of 20cm. If you want to make it two-sided, drill 2 holes; if you want four sides, drill 4 holes. Today we're drilling 4 holes, so that the 2 holes at the front and back and the 2 holes at the left and right are not on the same horizontal plane.
3. Bend the wire
Bend the wire you prepared in advance into rings. The diameter of the bent rings depends on the size of your flower pots at home. Don't use wire that is too thin, or it will deform easily.
4. Insert the rings into the PVC pipe
Insert the bent rings into the PVC pipe one by one. The protruding parts should pass out through the holes and be bent downward, then tie them tightly with something like wire to keep the 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 a flower pot, and after filling with soil 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 also increases stability and prevents 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! Put the flower pots you want to place on it one by one, and you're all finished! However, you need to rotate it every few days to prevent the flowers from receiving uneven light.

Steps:
1. Preparation
PVC pipe
If some flower lovers don't 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
Mark lines on the PVC pipe at intervals of 10cm, then use a saw to cut open the marked parts.
3. Heat over fire and press
After sawing, heat it slightly over a fire, then take another pipe and press downward along the sawed openings, so that the sawed parts 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 and plant small flower seedlings or small vegetable seedlings, and it's complete!
