What fun to start your succulent or small floral arrangements in our pink Flamingo Planter, 5.25″ tall and long, and 2.5″ wide. Ceramic. No drainage.
FAQs, and designing with planters and pots
- Most planters, pots, and containers such as our elephant planter are made with combinations of ceramic, glass, or metals such as brass
- Some planters without drainage holes are used as cache pots, a fancy term that means to use as a cover for nursery pots. Just slip your nursery pot inside, and then pull it out for watering. Drain, then reinstall in your decorative planter.
- To start a dry or wet arrangement in a container, you’ll want to anchor your floral or plants in floral foam. Dry floral foam does not hold water and works with faux plants and flowers.
- Use wet floral foam, usually a dark green color, for fresh flowers or plants.
- You may hot glue your floral foam to your container interior, although if you’re not mailing or moving your arrangement, it’s not necessary
- Cover your floral foam with dry moss or pebbles
- Now the fun starts. Insert as many flowers, succulents, or tropical plants into your container as will fit
- Be creative. Feel free to cut, trim, and divide your plants into smaller parts.
- Think about this simple design rule for arrangements: Use one thriller (the focal point), one spiller (something that drapes over the side), and one upright stem.
- Enjoy!
