What do you fill fake pots with?
Position your artificial plant centrally within the pot. You don't need to remove the starter pot as this will act as a base. When you are happy with the height, fill around the pot with earth or sand. Top tip: If you need to move the plant frequently, replace the earth or sand with polystyrene chunks.
What to put in pots before planting?
Here are some materials you can use to fill the bottom half or third of a large potting container:
- Styrofoam packing, especially so-called “peanuts,” or bubble wrap. ...
- Empty plastic milk containers and water bottles, small plastic nursery plant pots, aluminum cans.
Should you put rocks in the bottom of a planter?
A layer of gravel at the bottom of a planting container was recommended for decades, even in published books about container plants. That erroneous advice may lead to root damage in plants. When gravel is at the bottom of a pot, it takes up room that otherwise soil would fill, making the pot much smaller for its plant.
