Growing flowers without buying pots: pick them up by the river for free and you'll have more than you can use

When growing flowers, many gardening enthusiasts pay attention to details like watering, fertilizing and light, but there is one thing that is easily overlooked, namely the "flower pot". As the saying goes, a fine horse deserves a fine saddle, so a fine flower naturally deserves a fine flower pot! After all, if the flower pot is not attractive or not practical, the ornamental value of the flowers and plants will also be greatly reduced. When it comes to flower pots, they are mainly divided into ceramic pots, clay pots, plastic pots, cement pots and glass pots, and so on. Each type of flower pot has different characteristics, so growing flowers with them is also somewhat different. Generally speaking, old-style ceramic pots or clay pots are the most suitable for growing flowers. But these pots are not easy to buy! Actually, you may not need to buy this kind of flower pot at all; take a stroll by the river and you might just pick some up!

No need to buy flower pots, just "pick" them up by the river, not spending a single cent, and you'll have more than you can use for growing flowers

The picture above was taken by a gardening enthusiast. They originally wanted to take a stroll by the river, but ended up seeing such a big pile of flower pots. And they were all clay pots and ceramic pots. Supposedly, someone didn't want these things anymore and just dumped them by the river. Although some look broken, quite a few are still intact. To other people, they might really not be worth a single cent, but to those who love growing flowers, these are treasures! They are just right for growing flowers. Pick some up and take them home, and you'll even save the money for buying flower pots! I believe many who see them will be pretty lucky.

The gardening enthusiast casually picked out some flower pots that looked decent. However, these flower pots have a drawback: there are no holes in the bottom. Of course, no holes in the bottom of a flower pot is not good for drainage later, but this problem is not a big deal; just take them home and use an electric drill to make a few small holes. Picking up flower pots by the river counts as pretty good luck. In fact, besides the riverbank, some old courtyards or garbage dumps, as well as the garbage disposal areas at flower markets, may also have discarded flower pots that seem useless. Take them home, give them a simple wash, and they can still be reused.

Why do many people prefer to pick them up rather than spend money on flower pots themselves

Ask the people around you who like growing flowers, and this question is actually not hard to answer. First of all, growing flowers is a delightful pastime that cultivates the mind and character. Only people who put their heart into life will grow flowers. And picking up flower pots and reusing them is itself a very interesting thing. When it comes to reusing old items, in fact many gardening enthusiasts have done it. For example, the most common practice is using vegetable-washing water or rice-washing water from home to water flowers, which also falls into the category of reusing old items. Many people have left me comments before saying, if you go out and pick up flower pots to take home, will people laugh at you? How should I put it? There's nothing to laugh at, because this is a meaningful and interesting thing to do.

In the process of growing flowers, whether it's choosing flower pots or other details, as long as you put in a little more care, not only will your potted flowers grow vigorously, but your mood will also be great. As for picking up flower pots to grow flowers, I relatively recommend everyone to do this. In fact, in life, besides picking up flower pots, there are also many people who love growing flowers and specifically keep an eye on garbage dumps at flower markets to see if there are unwanted flowers and potted plants or such things, and they take them home to grow themselves. Strangely enough, the flowers you pick up actually grow more and more vigorously. I wonder if you have had this experience?
