How To Make A Spilled Flower Pot?
Planning Your Arrangement
Planning your spilled flower pot garden arrangement is key to creating a stunning visual effect.
- Draw a simple layout of your garden area and mark where you want the spilled flower pot to be. Visualize the flow of flowers from the pot.
- Select plants that complement each other in color, height, and growth habit. Consider using a mix of trailing, upright, and ground-cover plants. Try succulents for a unique twist.
- Use seasonal flowers to change the look throughout the year—daffodils in spring, marigolds in summer, mums in fall.
- Use a tall container and let plants spill over a raised bed or wall for a dramatic effect.
- Use multiple smaller pots with different flowers spilling into one another for a cascading effect.

- Flower pot or container that is large enough for your project.
- Good-quality soil to prevent flooding, especially for succulents.
- Variety of plants or flowers. A plan to place them in a attractive arrangement.
- Trowel.
- Decorative additions (optional).
Choosing The Spot
Choose a spot with the right amount of sunlight for the plants you’ve chosen. You’ll need to water regularly and remove weeds to keep your spilled flower pot looking fresh. Your small arrngement should be placed strategically.
Step By Step Instructions
- Take a pot and lay it on its side where you want the flowers to start spilling out. Push the pot into the soil a little bit so it looks like it’s tipping over.
- Put good soil into the pot. Make sure the soil is at least 6 inches deep. Spread more soil in the area where the flowers will spill out. Mix it well and pat it down.
- Take the plants out of their plastic pots by gently squeezing the sides and pulling the plant out by the base of the stem. Place the plants on the soil where you want them to go.
- Dig small holes with a trowel and put each plant into the hole. Pat the soil around the plants gently to secure them. Keep the plants about 3½ inches apart.
