Interesting ideas for your design

Choosing a decorative pots:

  • classical severity - we place pots with plants in containers in pastel colors, attracting attention to flowers, and not to pots;

Varieties

With the help of pots we hide ugly pots, which allows us to make composite groups of plants, to cover empty areas in the garden.

By type of subdivide:

  • Floor planters. Here we place large potted plants, dwarf shrubs and trees. Capacities have large volumes, it is difficult to rearrange them if you wish to create a composition. Suitable for myrtle, orange, ficus, palm trees.
  • Suspended pots. We carry out vertical landscaping of the site. We plant not only climbing annuals, but also perennials. In the apartment we fasten to the eaves or ceiling beams, on the street we hang on veranda and gazebo, put on the pillars. Suitable for creating mobile flower beds, it is easy to move the flowering plants to another part of the garden, replacing them with others.
  • Wall pots. We attach directly to the wall or to the fence. Indoors we decorate the walls of the corridor or hang them on the kitchen. We plant ornamental deciduous plants, the care of which is not burdensome, they are undemanding to lighting conditions.
  • Board pots. We set pot plants on window sills and the tables. We can move from one room to another to provide a comfortable environment.

Outdoor

Floor tanks look massive, they plant large plants. According to the rules, they must exceed the diameter of the flowerpot, and the intervals must be filled with expanded clay or pebbles to ensure the vital activity of the plants. Backfilling not only performs a decorative function, but also absorbs residual liquid. Flowerpots most often wooden or metal.

The easiest way is to make containers that will stand on the floor or windowsill. Care should be taken to ensure their stability so that the plant construction does not fall. Flowerpots are made from old holey dishes, containers, cans, shabby drawers and linen closets.

Cheer up with colors

Suspended

Hanging an apartment with hanging flower pots balcony, loggia. Suitable for decorating a country site. The compositions are used in a romantic, rustic and eco-style. Depending on the material used for decoration of flowerpots, we decide what style we want to display.

Suspended compositions for decoration

Suspended compositions for decoration

If at home we place containers at eye level for ease of irrigation, then at the dacha we use any fence, hang pots with plants on branches of bushes or trees. Observe the condition - ease of construction.

All suspended containers are selected from plastic and thin metal, decorated with lace trim, decoupage or colorize. You can make beautiful envelopes from burlap, sheathe ribbons and lace. Hang on a string, rope or chain. Any outdoor pots with ease turns into a hanging, if you braid threads for hanging on the hooks.

Crochet hanging pots

Crochet hanging pots

Discover the ideas:

  • measure the volume of the pot, proceed to knitting or crochet. The product should be slightly wider than the pot so that it fits well there. We tie a wide loop at the back, so that the structure is securely hung to the mount;
  • use satin ribbons one or more colors. The principle of weaving is simple - we interconnect the ribbons in the middle in the form of a frame. In the middle we put the pot, in size at the edge we knit a ribbon for the connection. Now we bind the ribbons between each other along the walls of the pot;
  • choose thin ropes for weaving. If you need to braid a small bowl with a dwarf plant, you can not use coarse threads. You can braid the pot by analogy with weaving ribbons, or weave a complex pattern.

Cachepot on the wall

In small apartments we embody the idea - we attach pots with plants to the walls.If all the windowsills and the loggia are already taken, then proceed to the realization of the idea. Wall containers are almost no different from hanging or outdoor. On the side of the pot there is a hook with which it is attached to the wall.

At a country site we attach flower boxes to low and high fences. It is troublesome to build plant pots with plants directly into the openings of the fence, additional material is needed, you also need to calculate the load on the fence.

Use old objects to decorate the area:

  • a pot, a dish or a pot of ceramics will be used. To hang weave the object with wire or drill a side hole for attaching to the wall;
  • kettles and cups from the old service. We fix on the wall with wire or hang it by the handles on the hooks;
  • boots, shoes or galoshes. We nailed to a wooden fence or tied with laces.

Tabletop

Cache-pots can be made of wood, plastic, glass, wicker. It is interesting to look tin cans, decorated with weaving or patterns. Let's refuse plastic containers - they are too unstable, they are suitable only for hanging pots.

Distinguish by location:

  • street;
  • room;
  • balcony

Street tanks are set up at the dacha plots, placed in beds or near the entrance at the site. More often they place large heat-loving trees, which with the arrival of cold weather move to the basement. Room pots placed in the apartment. Small plants are planted in them:

  • violets;
  • gloxinia;
  • Kalanchoe

Balcony tanks are made, both suspended and wall. An interesting multi-tiered pots, where we plant climbers that create a flowering wall in the summer. It is not difficult to build several shelves or shelves for wooden flowerpots. Decorate the balcony tanks pelargonium, ivy, balsam.
Materials for pots

Various materials are useful for creating pots under flower pots:

  • Ceramics. Beautiful vases, decorated with glaze, floral and floral patterns. With their help, create a rustic style in the interior. If the ceramic pots of flower growers are not widespread because of the glaze, which does not allow the root system of plants to develop, then a pot will help out in this situation. We choose - from semi-circular containers for a garden with succulents to large floor vases for dracaenas or a Chinese rose. The disadvantages include material fragility and weight.
  • Tree. All wooden parts are treated from decay to ensure the durability of the container. In them we plant bright annuals: marigolds, verbena. It is possible to decorate a garden, as compact boxes, and to build a design from 5-7 flowerpots placed in long pots.
  • Glass. Transparent containers are suitable for indoor flowering plants that need to control the water level.
  • Metal. Products fit any style - from country to high-tech. Make one-and multilevel designs.
  • Plastic. Universal material, easy to maintain, resistant to temperature extremes. A variety of colors and shapes allows you to grow even naughty plants, such as orchids. Plastic containers when placed on the street does not deteriorate from moisture, do not fade in the sun.
  • Artificial a rock. Capacities are not subject to sunshine, moisture resistant, withstand shocks. The range allows you to pick pots, the texture resembles a natural stone.

Choose a material that will be suitable for your colors.

Wood

Wooden tanks can be easily constructed from the remnants of the rails after repair. Useful boards, bars, slats, and even branches.

We use cheap materials to create pots for the garden:

  • We knock together several laths like a fence or a lattice, combine them in the form of a long box. Inside the lining of the sacking, we expose the containers with red and pink geraniums.
  • The middle of the long log should be hollowed out, and the sides should be reinforced with smaller logs for stability. Stir plates with violets or petunias.
  • Cut the twigs of the same length, tie them together with a rope, making knots after each added branch. It should be a canvas of twigs, connected by two strips of rope. We join the canvas into a circle, and as the bottom we nail several branches with nails. Such fastening will not allow to tilt and fall out to a pot. We put a flowerpot with a flower inside, we additionally tie a construction with a rope.

Location

We improve a site, arranging mobile flower beds:

  1. At the entrance to the territory. Choose two tall pots, plant the same dwarf trees. We put the containers on high stands so that the plants in the pots create an entrance zone. The composition can be placed in front of the house or on both sides of the fence.
  2. A beautiful plant, planted in a decorative flowerpots, placed in the center of the flower bed as a tapeworm. We also place containers near benches, turns of garden paths, on steps leading to a house.
  3. Unsightly places on the site closed with large vases with plants, shifting the emphasis on flowers.
  4. Near an artificial reservoir we place pots with moisture-loving plants - dwarf irises and ferns.
  5. An interesting idea is to create a streamlet with the help of containers with blue flowers. We pour stones in the shape of the future channel, and at the source we mix an old can, from which ampelous lobelia grow.
  6. We make a mobile flower garden - we put several flowerpots in a row with flowering plants, if necessary we transfer:
Very comfortable mobile flowers

Very comfortable mobile flowers

  • spring flowering from early-flowering bulbous plants planted in wicker baskets, as we wither, we transfer into the shade, replacing with other plants;
  • in the summer we decorate the land in a rustic style - we set up wooden boxes with annual plants of the same species;
  • before frost, ampelous fuchsias bloom with petunia and verbena, planted in hanging containers;
  • in the fall, we put in a prominent place in front of the porch pots with chrysanthemums that were preparing for flowering in the summer.

  1. We decorate brick and wooden fences. If the barriers look gray and uncomfortable, then with the help of high containers with one type of perennial plants we will add bright colors to the site.
  2. Suspended pots stir not only on the balcony, cornice, wall, but also hang on the branches of trees.

Plants in hanging tanks need to be watered more often, because due to the location under direct sunlight, the soil dries quickly.

If there is a pond at the dacha, we make a floating composition. We use light containers with potted plants, which are placed in pots in the form of a boat. The plant will wiggle on the water surface, will need less watering.

For heavy pots at the bottom of a shallow pond, we fix the support on which we place a stable cache-pot. In the tank, you will feel yourself freely in the pot with tsiperus, which needs frequent watering and spraying.

Flowers in the country

  • In the country with the help of pots with plants zoning plot. The containers placed along the tracks are used as a border, replacing the landing boxwood, in need of constant pruning. We create containers of incredible shape with the help of cut plastic bottles or tires, pour concrete into the molds in order to repeat the bends of the tracks.
  • We form borders with the help of a number of short-growing plants in containers of the same color and texture. Another option is to arrange pots of different height along the path, where you can plant several species of flowering annuals. You can put the containers in one row, but can be placed in groups. Cachepo placed on supports to create a multi-level flower garden.
  • We select a place for a raised flowerbed - we plant one large figure-shaped pots, painted with bright patterns. Here we put several containers with potted plants to get the composition.
  • We embody the idea of ​​the Mediterranean style - we create an alley along the paths, resembling the planting of young cypress trees. Expose tub plants - Portuguese laurel cherry, privet, laurel, boxwood. In order to create the impression that cultures grow from the ground, we dig deep tanks into the dug holes, where we place tubs for the season. Before frosts, we extract the plant with a container, and in the spring we return it back to its place.
  • Getting to the design of the arbor. We hang pots with plants in the openings, put them around on the ground, put them on poles. We plant curly annuals to get a canopy of green mass. It is not always possible to plant winding roses or clematis near the pavilion due to paving. The output will be suspended structures and mobile flower beds.
