You’ve seen a gorgeous artificial tree and now you want to know how to re-pot it into a stylish plant pot.
This guide is aimed specifically at re-potting your new faux into a pot. If you’re looking to plant it into the ground.
Artificial plants, from Blooming Artificial, normally arrive in one of three ways.
- In a starter pot (the plain black one)
- On a spike
- Pre-potted into a container (like our window boxes)
Repotting your plant
Artificial plants normally arrive in a starter pot. This plain and simple pot is designed to hold your new faux plant together and act as a weighted base. However, it’s not particularly attractive or stable.
For these reasons, we recommend repotting your plant into a larger and more decorative plant pot. We have our own attractive range of pots or you can use your own.
Repotting instructions
You’ll need the following ingredients:
- Earth or sand
- Decorative stones (optional)
- Your plant pot
Then follow these steps:
- Check the height of your plant pot compared to the foliage clearance of your artificial plant. This is the gap between the pot and where the foliage begins. If the plant pot is particularly tall, or you want to increase the overall height of your plant, you may want to pre-fill the pot.
- Position your artificial plant centrally within the pot and check it’s straight. You shouldn’t remove the starter pot, just bury it. When you’re happy fill around the starter pot with the earth or sand.
- Finish the job by covering the earth or sand with decorative stones.
