Large plant pots are actually veryeasy to make. If you have a basic idea about their shapes and sizes, and if youcan obtain the right material for making them, for example clay, wood, steel,ceramic and others, you can make large plant pots sitting at home.
Large plant pots are available in alarge variety of colours, textures, shapes and sizes. They can be made of avariety of materials starting from metal and clay to ceramic or even wood insome cases. The first thing that one needs to do whilst making large plant potsis to select what material to use. One should be judicious whilst selecting thematerial and should keep in mind various other technical things involved in theprocedure, especially those about the limitations of these materials and ifthey create favourable conditions to the growth of plants. For example, woodenpots can be used for trees, preferably cacti that require very little supply ofwater. Pots made of stainless steel are durable but they should have inbuiltsystems for draining out water. In fact, unlike earthen pots that are able todissipate heat and vapour through the minute perforations in their bodies, thesolid steel walls are unable to do the same.
Some techniques for making largeplant pots
After you have selected whatmaterial to be used in making large plant pots, you can start designing thepots. Focus on its shape and size. The size should be determined by the type ofplant you are going to keep in the pot. The same should apply to the shape.Just keep the following tips in mind whilst selecting a design for the pots.
o��Ifyou want to plant trees that spread sideways and grow tall at the same time,the large plant pots should be both wide and deep.
o��Thetrees that do not have a great height but have a horisontal growth can growwell in less deep but adequately wide pots.
o��Treeswith hardly any sideways growth of spread-out branches, but with a goodvertical growth rate, will require pots that are deep.
Next, you have to gethold of the basic instruments like the potter�s wheel or the shaping tools. Ifyou are planning to make steel pots, then get a drilling machine and nuts withwhich you will join flat boards of steel together. However, unless you areextremely keen on doing it, it is good not to waste your time by making largeplant pots when they are readily available in the market. Especially it gets reallymessy when one makes pots with clay. Making ceramic pots at home is also bit ofa trouble. You need a furnace that can heat up the ceramic at a very hightemperature and also you have to mould the pots properly. Unless you are anexpert in moulding clay or ceramic pots, this exercise might turn into amisadventure. The best thing that you can do is after buying the basic largeplant pots
