Planting broken flower pots »Nice ideas with broken pieces

Use of broken flower pots

Destroyed clay or terracotta pots don't have to end up in the trash. The shards can be used as drainage material in other flower pots. Pottery shards are collected at recycling centers as filling material for muddy paths.
These are sensible recycling options for broken clay pots. But you can also use the shards in your own garden, for example as a plant marker. Write the name of the seed on the larger pieces and put them next to the rows of plants as a reference.

Planting broken flower pots

A planting of damaged pots is also still possible.

1. Fill the pot up to where the shard broke out with Potting soil and insert a small plant in the front area, for example a succulent plant or a miniature duck, which can spread out towards the front.
2. Put another shard behind the plant, which is now a little higher and forms a new floor.
3. Fill in soil here again and plant a second plant.
4. As a third planting level, place a small flower pot behind the second plant.
5. Fill this pot with soil again and put in another flower or green plant that matches the style.
6. You can embellish the spaces between the individual levels with decorative stones, moss or colored bark mulch.

Instead of flowers, various herbs are also suitable for planting. Create a kind of herb spiral with chives, parsley and basil on the planting levels.

Creation of mini or fairy gardens

Instead of flower arrangements or herb spiral you can also conjure up a fairy garden in the broken pot. However, in addition to small plants, you will need other decorative material, such as

• various decorative stones
• Miniature bricks as stairs
• little houses
• possibly dolls
• moss
• Tree bark
• dry branches

Start with the fairy garden similar to the terraced flower planting and arrange the shards so that several floors are created. Connect the floors with small winding stairs and create a fairytale fairy world on each floor with mosses, mini plants, stones and decorative figures.
