Hypertufa over old clay pots?
Comments (2)Don't know if you can do this with the trees in the pots. Normally you would turn the pots up side down, wet the pots so you have a damp surface and add an acrylic fortifier to your mix. After the bottom and sides have setup you turn the pot over and finish the return on the inside of the pot. You only have to cover down to where the soil would start inside the pot. Since your pot is starting to deteriorate I don't now if it can stand up to the removing of the trees or any of the other process....See MoreTillandsia potting with hypertufa pots, need suggestions.
Comments (4)NO Dirt for Tillies, they will rot. how big are those pots? Do they have drainage holes? if so just put enough gravel to set the plants in place or use a cork to attach the plant to..

Comments (0)Image by: fuzzy Hypertufa covered plastic pot Plastic Pot Recycling - Hypertufa-Covered Pot Member fuzzy also revamped a large (gallon size) black plastic pot: Cover the outside of the pot with chickenwire, crimp it around the rim about 2" down and around the bottom about the same amount. Next, I turn it upside down and pack hypertufa (leaving the center drainage hole) all over the bottom and sides. A day later, flip it over and cover the rim and the 2" on the inside. A day after that, use some chickenwire scraps to rough up the outside. Now that the inside is invisible (because it's filled with dirt), you'd never know it's a black nursery pot...

Comments (8)Don't know if this question is still live, but anyone who has succulents may be able to share a cutting or two. They propagate so easily (most of them) that you could have so many "starts", if they have a lot going. They may let you clean up their floor even. The way the succulents are, I can snip and pinch pieces and put them in a shoe box, come back weeks later and lay them on some sandy soil. Sprouts appear! These are some pinches I grabbed after it started frosting here (Ohio) and they are thriving in a little glass tea-light holder thing with a pinch of soil and aquarium gravel. I think these are the ghost plant, graptopetalum paraguayense....See Moredizadncr
