Your decorative flowers must enjoy the best conditions, and the pots greatly influence their development. However, the decoration of the pots will not influence in any way the integrity of the houseplants, but this aspect is only related to the aesthetic side.

Ideas for decorating plastic pots

Although they are not as beneficial to plants as clay pots, plastic pots are highly valued for their strength, appearance (in the sense that they come in many sizes) but especially because of the very low prices. However, many consider them dull and far too simple, so decorating plastic pots can help you change the look of the green paradise in your home a little.

Dressing plastic pots with string or colored thread could be a great idea for personalizing them. You will need a thicker colored string or thread, and race or another type of adhesive. Use a brush to apply the adhesive to the surface of the pot and, with circular motions, cover it with string or thread of various colors. The pot thus created will impress you with its beauty and simplicity.

Surrounding a small plastic pot with tree twigs or cinnamon sticks can be a great idea. You will need either tree twigs or cinnamon sticks. You will also need glue, string, or ribbon. Cut the twigs to the same size and start gluing them vertically. The same goes for cinnamon sticks, only it does not require cutting. After that, to complete the whole aspect, in the middle of the pot you can catch a straw or a piece of string.

Crocheted or knitted "clothes" for pots can be a great way to decorate pots, especially for winter. You can create funny figurines that you can use to personalize your pots in a very special way.

For an elegant look, plastic pots can be covered in lace. Lace is one of the trends of 2013. But, if you want, you can opt for other textiles with which to dress the pots to give them a new look.

Another very elegant option, for the small plants you keep in the living room, would be the application of pearls on plastic pots. In the haberdashery, you will find plastic pearls, in very different colors and sizes, which you can easily stick on the pots. The look will be unique and long-lasting.

Pebbles and shells can be another way to decorate pots. These will be glued to the surface of the pots with the help of an adhesive.

Decorating clay and terracotta pots

Clay pots are much more appreciated due to the many beneficial properties they have on the palms, but also due to their appearance. Terracotta pots are also appreciated and their decoration will bring an extra personality to your home.

Clay and terracotta pots can be painted very easily. So if you want to practice your artistic talents you can try to paint the pots of your houseplants. It is preferable to use acrylic colors so don't hesitate to put your imagination to the test.

The version with pebbles and shells that I presented earlier for plastic pots can also be applied to these pots. You can create various shapes with colored stones and shells in different sizes and shapes.

And with clay or terracotta pots you can practice the unique clothing, made of lace or macrame, to allow the pot itself to be seen.

Buttons or colored stones can be other materials that can beautify a ball of clay or terracotta.

Clay or terracotta pots can be decorated with all sorts of felt accessories, funny figurines, or spring popcorn.
