Two-Pot Topiary

Prev  1 2 3 (of 4)  Next

Steps 3-5

3. Position the basket on the top of the pole, and attach it by tightening the nut at the bottom of the basket.



4. Plant the pot. Fill the pot with high-quality potting soil, and add the plants of your choice. (We used impatiens and German ivy.) Leave 1 to 1-1/2 inches of space between the rim of the pot and the soil surface for easy watering.



5. Add moss. Although you can simply place a pot or hanging basket directly in the wire basket, for a more textural look, line it with sphagnum moss or coconut fiber, shown here. The liner should extend all the way up the sides of the wire basket.
