Tips and Tricks
- To create a drainage hole in your plant pot, use a small drill bit and carefully drill a hole in the bottom of the pot after it has dried.
- Use different sized cups to create plant pots in varying heights and widths.
- If you want to make your plant pots even more durable, mix in some sand or crushed stone with the concrete mix.
