How to Reuse Cassed Pots for Aquatic Plant Cultivation

Broken flower pots can still be useful in your garden, especially for growing aquatic plants. Here are two tips to give them a second life:

1. Create a Mini Aquatic Garden in a Pot Cassé

To do this, you will need the following:

  • A pot of broken terracotta flowers
  • A piece of mosquito net or a waterproof sheet
  • Special soil for aquatic plants
  • Aquatic plants such as water lilies, water lilies, or rushes
  • Water

Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Place the mosquito net or waterproof sheet at the bottom of the broken pot to hold the ground and prevent it from falling.
  2. Fill the pot with special soil for aquatic plants up to about half its height.
  3. Plant the different aquatic plants by ensuring that they are spaced sufficiently to promote their growth.
  4. Add water until the roots of the plants are completely covered.
  5. Place the pot in a sunny place and keep the water constant according to the needs of the plants.

2. Turn a Cast Pot into a Drinker for Birds

A broken pot can also serve as a drinker for birds, while bringing a decorative touch to your garden. Here is how to proceed:

  • Clean the broken pot thoroughly to remove debris and pieces of soil.
  • Place a terracotta saucer inside the pot to create a flat surface.
  • Fill the saucer with fresh water regularly to allow birds to drink.
  • You can add a few stones or small pieces of wood inside the saucer to allow birds to land safely.

These two simple tips will allow you to reuse your broken pots creatively while promoting the biodiversity of your garden. Don’t hesitate to let your imagination flow to find other original ways to integrate them into your outdoor space!
