How do I fix a cracked polyethylene planter?

Answered

I dropped an empty planter (not terra cotta) and it has a thin crack. I need an easy way to fix it so I can use it. If there isn't an easy way, how could I upcycle it as something else. Thank you.

Hi Dee, you can use hot glue on that crack. You can read more about how to do it here:

We've used epoxy to fix broken planters. It will hold up to the elements and many will withstand water.
