I found a treasure when I went back to my hometown! It would be a big loss if you don’t grow flowers in these broken jars and pots in the countryside!

Clay pots for growing flowers

In the countryside, there is always a place in front of and behind the houses where discarded old clay pots are piled up. They have a very low presence and not many people have ever taken them seriously. But in Huahua's eyes, they are all treasures!

Clay pots are breathable and water-permeable, which is conducive to the growth and development of the root system. They are suitable for flowers with sensitive root systems such as succulents, peonies, cyclamen, and Clivia. Flowers that like moisture but are afraid of waterlogging should especially use clay pots. It is much easier to grow flowers than plastic pots or porcelain pots.

Some of the dirty-looking clay pots unexpectedly have a retro feel after growing flowers in them, and the overall style immediately changes!

Clay pot flower garden

Speaking of clay pots, I believe most people think of the delicious clay pot soup first, but flower lovers should not ignore the high appearance of clay pots. It would be a waste not to grow flowers in them!

The clay pot itself has a kind of classical beauty, and the outer layer is made of retro stone blue and brick red. There is no need to bother to match flowers and plants, just placing it is very pleasing to the eye~

The roses in the clay jar are in bud, about to bloom, like a natural oil painting!

If the diameter of the pot is too small, you can break it and grow succulents in it, which is also a unique style~

Water tank flower cultivation

When I was a child, the first thing I did when I got home from school was to rush to the water tank and scoop a bucket of water to fill my stomach. It was especially refreshing in the summer!

Now, the water tank is no longer used to store water. Instead of leaving it idle, it is better to raise fish and flowers.

Bowl lotus, lotus and water tank are a perfect match~

Stone mortar for growing flowers

Stone mortars are old objects in rural areas. They are large and small and have various uses, such as grinding grains, crushing sesame seeds, making chili sauce, etc.

Nowadays, stone mortars are covered with moss after being left for a long time. You can just fill them with water and raise fish in them. It is quite fun.

Water-loving flowers and plants such as lotus and pennywort can be grown in a stone mortar, bringing a unique coolness to the courtyard!

The small stone mortar can also be used to grow flowers. The orchids grown in soil look elegant and delicate.

Stone trough flower garden

Didn’t expect that? The stone troughs used to feed pigs in the countryside can also be used to grow flowers, and they are quite beautiful. You can grow succulents, lotus flowers, pennyworts...there is nothing that cannot be grown in them!

Fill a large stone trough with water and plant some green ivy, spider plants and ivy in any combination to create a small pond. It’s such a great sense of accomplishment!

Rotten wood piles for growing flowers

There are a lot of old trees in the countryside, including dead wood and rotten stumps. Any piece of wood can be used to grow flowers. They are beautiful and breathable, and can also supplement nutrients. It’s such a good deal!

When Huahua saw this succulent stake, she was extremely envious. Whatever the master grows looks good, it is simply a work of art!

There are too many treasures in the countryside

Do you know what other old items are suitable for growing flowers?

Let’s post pictures and chat together!
