Brightening up pots

From the Homes & Gardens website.

I saw this photo on the Homes and Gardens website recently and liked the look of the collection of bright and interesting pots. Then a few days later, on a gardening show I regularly watch, the presenter collected some unusual containers to put indoor plants in. (See pics below.) He bought the containers from the op-shop (charity shop — short for “opportunity shop”) and then cut down the plastic pots the plants were growing in to fit inside them.

Such a simple idea, but not one I’d ever thought of. I usually look for containers that already fit the plant pots that will go into them, but cutting the plastic pots to size makes for a much wider variety of containers possible. So I’m off to scour my local op-shops for some likely bright and interesting containers.

Thanks, Mary Jo. I’m looking forward to finding some nice bright and interesting containers. And it’s spring here, so it’s a good time to look for pot plants.
