Pots for succulents are made of cement, a simple and inexpensive material. And since the shape of these pots triangles with equal sides, they are easy to locate as a composition of several pots.
In order to make the wall pots will need:
- cement-sand mixture;
- thick cardboard;
- Plastic container for the preparation of a cement mixture;
- scissors, tape and glue;
- gloves and, if possible, a respirator.
Cardboard make two triangles with equal sides, facets of which relate to the squares. One of the triangles have to be a little smaller than the other.
Cut the preform bend the sides and join together by means of adhesive tape. From the narrow strips of cardboard make smaller triangles and attach them to the bottom of the preform. These triangles will help form the drainage holes in the cement form.
The plastic container prepare cement-sand mixture. For reliability, the solution may be mixed with gravel.
Tip: when working with cement is not superfluous to wear a dust mask and gloves.
Fill form flowable cement mixture up until it reaches the bottom edges triangles.
Place in the center of a small cardboard mold. Pour cement mixture void between the inner and outer stenochke.
Put preform for three days, so that the mixture was solidified. Protect from cracks may form in the daily water spraying cement.
After three days of separate pots blanks. Since cement is due to the alkaline materials, it adversely affects the growth of plants, so the pots should be during the day soaked in water, and then dry them well.
Now the pots can be painted in the appropriate color and then put to succulents.
Planted succulents should be a couple of weeks in the horizontal mode so that their roots were formed, and the soil was fixed.
Now you can weigh pots or form unusual shapes.
