This post is divided in two today.
1- First, I want to talk about the price of ceramic pots and how ridiculously expensive have become over the years. I know that it is all about manufacturing+transportation+shipping. So expensive that many people wonder if to invest in a pot or plant instead of both. I purchase ceramic pots because they are part of our home decor. Some also decorate our balcony garden in the warmer months.
As we know, having a pot with drainage is key to grow a health plant. This beautiful pot you see on the image above came with a drainage hole but without a saucer. I loved the colour and style so much that could not pass it! So I decided to buy it and add my own saucer.
This is a very simple DIY project that anyone can do using just two things:
- Measure the bottom of your pot
- Look for a terracotta saucer that nicely fits your pot and leaves room for water
- Make sure your pot and saucer are dry
- Craft glue for ceramic of your favorite brand
- Follow brand instructions
- Add a few drops carefully to the bottom of your pot
- Attach and glue your pot to the saucer
- Let dry
