Container Gardening

Hypertufa/cement containers.

9 years ago

I found some tutorials to make really cute small hypertufa or cement containers.

I noticed in all of the tutorials they only put succulents in these pots.

If you provide drainage in the bottom, is there a reason why you couldn't put non succulent plants?

I want to try and make my own. It looks like a fun, easy project.

They are just pots, not special succulent pots.

Hi
Have never use tufa but cement blocks .>I find they dry very quickly even with bottoms in them. . Great for cacti succulents not so with plants that need more moisture though I use them in above waterline water plants but are in standing water. gary
