I thought why have i never thought about this before ? Of course we&#8217;ve seen in the a huge green houses , beautiful pots on top of pots with beautiful colorful impatiens or petunias or allysum . It&#8217;s just pretty !!<\/p>\n<p>So , yesterday i set my mind to this , i knew i had that 1 huge pot laying around doing nothing , then a small pot in the back porch that used to have basil before winter last time , now it was just sitting there doing nothing . And super small one that had my thyme ( i eventually had to remove the thyme somewhere else ) . The only thing i had to get was a medium pot , which i got from the grocery store as i had to do my grocery shopping earlier that day .<\/p>\n<p>Basically you just need 4 pots , the biggest one goes on the bottom , then the medium pot on top , small and finally the highest one would be the smallest pot . You will need a rod too , now if your pots don&#8217;t have holes in the bottom middle part , you might have to get your dremel tools out and make a hole in each pot . Make sure the rod is small enough to go through that holes too . I found a stick from my neighbourhood since there are lots of houses being built , my problem was 2 pots don&#8217;t have holes , and for the clay pot in the middle , the wood stick was too big , so i had to have my husband get his saw and cut it smaller .<\/p>\n<p>Here you can see from the picture , the pots that you will need and of course , do not forget the dirt !!<\/p>\n<p>1. Get your pots ready , check the bottom , if they&#8217;re made from clay usually it has holes on the bottom , if it&#8217;s plastic like some of mine ,chances are you might have to make holes on the bottom . Fill in the biggest pot with dirt , then insert the wooden rod \/ stick in the middle ( just like making tiered cake )<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2442\" alt=\"tiered pots1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots1-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.

Let&#8217;s start planting our flowers . I used petunias , impatients and allysum .<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2444\" alt=\"tiered pots3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots3-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots3-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. And it&#8217;s done !!! Once they grow fuller , it will look so much prettier , impatients will be bushy and petunias will be trailing and allysum will spread just like what it supposed to do , as a ground cover . Be wise in choosing the type of flower you want to plant in this tiered pots . For example , you do not want to put geranium on the bottom pot , i can see on the highest one it should work , Look for something that will spread horizontally for the bottom pots .Have fun !<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2445\" alt=\"tiered pots4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots4-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots4-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/tiered-pots4.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few days ago as i was browsing and wasting my time on Pinterest , i ran across this cute idea of making tiered flower pot .
