Pot Rambling

So sometimes you look at a beautiful pot you created andswell with pride….other times…not so much. A few things I have learned along the way. The biggest and best I share with you is tobe a kid! Make a flower pot that makesyou HAPPY. The biggest temptation that Ioften give into is to put too many plants in one pot. Sometimes this works outgreat…other times it is a head on disaster. Put like plants together. The same practicalguidelines should apply to the fairy gardens as well. (Remember plants GROW) Shadewith shade (sometimes you can fudge….) and sun with sun. Plants that like water should be put in thesame pot with other plants that like water, and dry with dry. We all have seenthe spiller, thriller, filler concept, but sometimes you can break the rule andhave a fantastic creation. If you don’tlike how it turns out and here is the wonderful part, you can tear it all outand start again. I love doing compositions with Japanese Maples that I know Iwill probably have to tear apart and reinvent and make it even better! Yeah, that’s the ticket J. Oh I almost forgot. I am old school and still think you need a hole for drainage in the bottom of the pot...but that's another story
Enjoyed the project?
