FAQs, and designing with planters and pots
- Most planters and containers are made with combinations of ceramic, glass, wood, 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!
