EVEN THE BEST FAKE PLANTS WILL LOOK FAKE IF YOU DON'T STYLE THEM!

DON'T DO THIS

...OR THIS

INSTEAD DO THIS!

2 EASY METHODS

DIRT

MOSS

MEASURE POT

01.

Measure the opening of your pot AND the diameter at the height you want your plant to sit.

MEASURE PLANT

02.

Measure the circumference of your plant at the base (measure the plant, not the pot).

CUT LINER

03.

Select a plastic liner size nearest to the diameter of your finished opening. Cut from the outer edge to the center.

ADD RISER

04.

If your container is deep and you want to raise the height of your plant, add a base.

ADD FILLER

05.

Fill in the gaps. I use grocery store bags almost always, but newspaper, tissue, bubble wrap, or any type of filler material will do!

ADD LINER & DIRT

06.

Insert the liner and add a layer of dirt to cover the liner and plastic pot.
