Straight from the kitchen of a Santa Fe gourmet, this darling decoration recalls the fabled cooking pots treasured for generations in the Southwest. Four graceful earthtone vessels with jute hanging loop are ready to brighten any corner!
Spring is here!! And if you haven’t prepared your flower pots it is time to do. What? You ask. Yes, you heard me right. Before you reuse your flower pots you should prepare them. By that I mean you should clean and sterilize them.
Scrub your pots with warm soapy water then rinse them in a bleach solution. This will get rid of any disease or fungi that may remain from the previous potting.
There are so many different sizes, shapes, materials, and colors of flower pots to help you decorate indoors and out. In fact many people that live in colder climates actually take their house planters outside in the warmer weather.
When choosing a flower pot for your plant, there are a couple of things to consider besides how it will look with your decor. Be sure your pot is not too large for your plant. It is a common mistake people make thinking their plant will grow into a larger pot. This is actually not a good idea. Also be sure there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the pot so the roots don’t stay wet and rot.
I have many plants that I need to bring in as the weather gets colder. Before I take them back out in the spring though I will need to check them to see if they need to be repotted. This also gives me a chance to change the theme of my garden/room.
Be sure to select the right size pot for your plant. You want to be careful that the flower pot is not way too big or way too small for the plant.
