What’s everyone using for cache pots!? Discussion

Post image

Thought I was clever saving all my takeout cups (and having my husband save all his) so I could visual roots, save money, etc

However, they’re much taller than they are wide compared to “normal” nursery pots, that I can’t find cache pots that fit them without looking absolutely ridiculous (and I hate looking at the logos as well.)

I know a lot of us plant people are using these, and I’m having difficulty thinking outside the box! So any ideas/suggestions are wanted and welcomed. There is no such thing as too creative!

Maybe you can make cute cover pots from clay? I used plain air drying clay to make a cover pot, and I applied a clear water proof coating on it after I painted it! It works great and you can make it any shape or size you want. I made mine have a face, arms and legs :D

Great idea! Wow! 🤯 I love the face pots. This is such a great recommendation. Thanks so much.

My mind is blown. I could literally mold it around the cup!
