Flowerbed from a chair - three ways to make it
Flower stand from a chair The first and the mostThe obvious way is to turn a chair into a stand for flower pots. This option is suitable if the chair is in good condition, with an intact seat. If desired, you can at least slightly restore the chair beforehand, sand it, paint it or varnish it. But this is not at all necessary, a more interesting option is to leave the chair in its antique state, to further emphasize the traces of time or to age it. An old chair as a stand for plants is good to use in the interior of the house, on the balcony or veranda. Not only standard ceramic pots can be used as flower pots, but also bowls, basins, buckets, plastic flowerpots of unusual shapes.
Flowerbed from a chair with a hole cut out SecondThis method is more labor-intensive, but it allows you to turn an old chair into a small flower bed. If the chair seat is broken or missing, you can choose a flowerpot with a diameter slightly larger than the base of the chair without a seat. In this way, the container with plants will be inserted instead of the seat. It is also possible to cut a hole of the required diameter directly in the seat. This method allows you to change the pots with plants in the flower bed, bring them into a warm room for the winter. Instead of standard pots, you can use old kitchen utensils, pans, buckets, etc.
Flowerbed from a chair with a basket for hanging plantsplants The third way to make a flower bed from an old chair involves completely removing the seat and inserting a special wire basket for hanging plants in its place. You can buy such a basket in flower shops and large construction and garden supermarkets. Alternatively, you can use a metal mesh. In any case, you will also need sphagnum moss or coconut fiber to line the bottom of the basket. Then pour in soil and plant the flowers you have chosen.
What plants to plant in a flower bed from a chair
Any! No restrictions.You can plant indoor ornamental plants, herbs, garden and hanging flowers, succulents. Of course, for each type of plant you should use the appropriate soil, fertilizing, watering and temperature regime, but this does not affect the chair itself as the basis of the flower arrangement. Bindweed plants that completely cover the legs and back of the chair look very interesting.
