Hi Blanche, depending on the type of glue you used to patch the hole you can paint the pot. Here's a lovely tutorial that will show you how https://www.ceramices.com/how-to-paint-a-ceramic-pot/

If you used a strong glue it should be safe to use.

If you used a water safe glue, you should be fine to use it. You can always line it with plastic wrap if you think the glue is an issue.

You may want to consider a plastic liner besides the glue.

Find a plastic container that will fit nicely inside the pot - then you don't need to rely on your glue keeping it from leaking!

Hi Blanche, you can resolve your issue by placing a plastic pot just a bit smallerinside your beautiful ceramic flower pot. Add some spanish moss if there's muore space than you'd like between the two pots to make the plant look nice.

Hi Blache, the best repairs are made with a glue that will last, hope this helps you out,

Most glues are safe once hard and cured.

Hello. I have to share my favorite tip with you. Its for repair- rehab both in crafting, home improvement and rescue of thrift store items.

—my go to miracle repair tip is the Oatey epoxy putty stick. I find it easier to work with than bondo and this more substantial clay like putty can be sculpted and fill defects. It does harden in a few minutes and will dry a gray color can be sanded or drilled and will needing painting unless its final gray color works for your repair.p

It's a two-part epoxy sticky-found at big box hardware stores in the plumbing department near the pvc purple glue. In a clear plastic red capped tube. I get mine at Lowes $6. Home Depots its version and JB Weld is another but more $ and smaller. Other smaller 2 part epoxy sticks options can also be found in the boat marine and wood repair shopping sections.

You mix -press -then you can use scrape off excess (I use depleted gift card) and/or sand and paint. Cured putty is strong enough to drill through.

Putty safely seals/waterproofs for plumbing, boat repairs and more.

Ive used it for exterior entry door frame wood rot repair, elliptical pedal repair, multiple arts and crafts repair of damaged pottery- wood -ceramics, plug up holes in planters, repair cracks in planters or make a new lip on the pottery planter. Ive also repaired holes in a utility garage sink ( thanks previous HO) repaired a break in the top rim border of an elliptical peddle, repaired damages in a concrete statue, fixed a split wood disk on a wind chime, its a great defect filler, those ornately detailed gold plaster frames and be repaired with this putty and wood filler.

It will dry light gray and can be custom painted to disguise. I recently refurbished a broken mug to a planter pot using this putty. It was sanded painted and clear coated.

An inside seam repair could be your solution for waterproof reinforcement..... with-no concern for disguising. Hope this helps

Honestly, once they have a crack, they are on there way out, BUT if one was to try to repair, from the inside of the pot, grind out the crack with a diamond grinding disk and use a two part epoxy to fill in where you grind. May work, may not....

you not have much faith using a glue,why is that
