European Planters

I love flowers and plants. I love everything about them; the colors, smells, the way that they look!

If I could have one luxury, it would be to have my house filled with fresh flowers regularly, but since I can’t, I have mixed European planters instead! You can use these anywhere; kitchen counters, coffee tables, dining table, everywhere and they look beautiful. The more that you have, the better and as always and with almost everything, the bigger the better! Plants can be picked up at Home depot for $2-$5 and will last for months! They are easy to make & maintain and can be made two different ways!

Option 1

*Plants have the ability to grow much larger

Container (anything that you like will do and I think bigger is better!)
Plastic for lining the container
Rocks or Gravel for drainage
Potting Soil
3, 5, or 7 House Plants (enough to make the planter really full, always in odd numbers, with various heights and varieties)
Moss to cover dirt (available at any craft store)

Directions:

Line a container with any thick plastic material.
Add rocks
Add soil
Add plants
Cover dirt with moss
Maintain plants regularly, trimming off dead leaves and lightly dusting plants. Water as directed, but do not over water.
Replace dead/dying plants as needed

Option 2

*Makes it very easy to replace plants as needed

Container (anything that you like will do and I think bigger is better!)
Plastic for lining
Plastic plant trays
Newspaper or plastic for height
3, 5, or 7 House Plants (enough to make the planter really full, always in odd numbers, with various heights and varieties)
Moss to cover dirt (available at any craft store)

Directions:

Line a container with any thick plastic material.
Add newspaper or plastic for height
Add plants with the plastic trays IN their original plastic containers, placing them in their desired location
Cover with moss filling in between each plant to keep it stabilized
Maintain plants regularly, trimming off dead leaves and lightly dusting plants. Water as directed, but do not over water.
Replace dead/dying plants as needed
