A small tower for plants such as succulents, herbs and much more for the kitchen, terrace or balcony? You can make this wonderful idea yourself in less than an hour.

Design your own trendy flower pot towers!

With this idea Terracotta-pots are stacked decoratively on top of each other. Each pot has a diameter of 7/8 cm at the upper edge and stands slightly tilted on the edge of the lower pot

The Terracotta-pots are classically equipped with a hole in the bottom. A round rod is inserted through this hole to connect the pots together

Decorative optics by Colour spray and jute cord

First of all you should paint the flower pots with the Marabou spray in any colour you like and let the paint dry. Then you can glue double-sided Adhesive tape to the upper edge of the terracotta pots and wrap them with the jute cord

Now fill the first pot with potting material (if you want to put real plants in the pots, fill them with potting soil)

This is how the flowerpot tower is created

Afterwards the round stick of about 35 cm length is put into the first Terracotta pot. Cover the hole (Ø approx. 2 cm) of this lower pot with glue, e.g. with some Felt , so that the round rod cannot push through

Now also the other terracotta pots are filled with the plugging compound or soil.

Little by little the pots are put on top of each other over the round bar. Make sure that the pots are placed at a slight angle and offset

If you use the Mini Garden Tower only for decoration purposes, we recommend that you apply some hot glue to the plugging compound around the round rod. This will keep the round stick more stable in the tower

As soon as the garden tower is ready, start planting the pots or decorating them with the mini succulents, branches etc.

Finally, fill the gaps with the mini-deco stones so that no Flower arrangement foam or potting soil is visible anymore
