How Do You Pot A Silk Tree Or Plant?
In this article you will learn how to pot an artificial tree or plant in plaster which can save a lot of money by buying plants and trees that are non potted. Set your non decorative container in an area where you won’t mind if a little bit of white plaster spills. Fill your non-decorative container approximately 1/3 full with water. Mix plaster according to instructions from manufacturer (usually the consistency of pancake batter works best), then pour into non-decorative container, and let “set up” until you can insert your silk plant stem or tree trunk, and the semi-hardened plaster will hold the plant or tree upright until completely hardened. Tap the side of the container to ensure plaster is thoroughly up against the trunk/stem. Once the silk plant is potted, insert your non-decorative container into your decorative planter, basket, etc. and top off with moss or ivy for the finishing touch.
